A quadjet or four-engine jet is a jet aircraft powered by four engines. The presence of four engines offers increased power output and redundancy, allowing quadjets to be used as civilian airliners, freighters and military aircraft. Many of the first purpose-built jetliners were quadjets, among which stands the De Havilland Comet, the world's first commercial jetliner. In the past two decades, the use of quadjet airliners has gradually begun to decline due to a variety of factors, including the approval of twinjets to fly further from diversion airports and an increased emphasis on fuel efficiency.
