The same Ohio river valley where the Wright brothers pioneered human flight will soon manufacture cutting-edge electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
Major airlines have two pilots and expensive avionics. But “commercial aircraft” refers to all aircraft with paying passengers, including Cessnas with a single pilot that take a few passengers sightseeing. As I said, fatalities are extremely rare in any of these flights.
And all pilots are guided by air traffic control, from major airliners to solo private pilots. Air traffic control is meant to prevent mid-air collisions, an air traffic control system that ignored small aircraft would be pointless.
The risk increases with any aircraft, the size is irrelevant. You might as well complain whenever Boeing builds a new airplane. And they build hundreds each year.
Fortunately, ATC regulates the number of aircraft - of any size - that can safely fly in a particular section of airspace.
So you admit I’m right, but you’re still arguing against me and then throw a false equivalence in to top it off. How the hell does that make any sense? Lmao
Yeah, it’s very clear that your argument is a false equivalence because you’re ignoring the massive differences between the different types of planes and the different safety records between them. And there’s lots of things to suggest that, you’re just ignoring them.
Not to mention this article and this whole discussion is about increasing the most dangerous form of air travel.
It must be very convenient for you to constantly ignore every part of the discussion that doesn’t align with your narrative, and then act as if you’d never heard it before.
And yet you keep ignoring the fact that all forms of commercial aviation have an excellent safety record.
That means that if you add up annual US fatalities in the small 2-4 passenger planes that you are irrationally worried about, plus slightly larger planes of 4-10 passengers that you are irrationally worried about, plus charter planes of 5-50 passengers, plus regional carriers, plus major airliners, plus any other air passengers you can imagine …
… the grand total would be about ten deaths per year on average. All those different planes put together, still less dangerous than lightning.
And now you want me to believe that this excellent multi-decade safety record would magically be upended by building more aircraft, even though we are already building more aircraft - of all types - and have been for decades.

And with that many more tiny little craft flying around, the risk increases. How do you not understand that?

I’m arguing that building these planes is no worse than building any other plane.
And there is nothing to suggest that air travel is currently unsafe due to congestion, if anything air travel is decreased from previous years.
