magnemoe Posted 45 minutes ago Share Posted 45 minutes ago 5 hours ago, Deddly said: According to Wikipedia: Quote In 1928 and 1929, the overall accident rate was about 1 in every million miles (1.6 million kilometers) flown.[5] In today's industry, that accident rate would translate to about 7,000 fatal accidents each year. It doesn't list the ratio of crashes per flight, but we have a number for miles/kilometres per accident. If we can find the average distance of a flight in those early years, we could make a fairish comparison In 1918 it had been produced over 100.000 planes so it had been millions of landings. I say its also a bit unfair as you had an good chance of surviving an engine out in a WW 1 plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
