The Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner was a four-engine airliner produced by the Canadian manufacturer Avro Canada . The first flight took place on August 10, 1949, just 13 days after the De Havilland DH.106 Comet , which was the world's first jet passenger aircraft. In contrast to the Comet, the jetliner remained largely unknown.
The machine was a four - jet low -wing aircraft with a retractable nose wheel landing gear . The wings were without a sweep. The jet engines were grouped in pairs on each side and half integrated into the wing.
Only a prototype of the aircraft was built. Further development was discontinued in favor of the Avro Canada CF-100 military aircraft . The prototype was finally scrapped on December 13, 1956. Only the cockpit area of the aircraft has been preserved for posterity in the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa .
