摘要 | The U.S. Air Force's aircraft inventory is getting older. Aircraft, such as the B-52 and KC-135, were designed and manufactured more than 60 years ago but remain critical elements of the Air Force's force structure. The aging of the fleet and increasing complexity of newer military aircraft have led some officials to worry that the Air Force's fleet is likely to be more prone to incidents that result in a loss of aircraft or, worse, life. At the same time, significant efforts to improve the safety of military aircraft have been pursued. The authors describe trends in aircraft mishap rates to assess the overall impact of these competing factors. ,Researchers assembled and analyzed mishap data from the Air Force Safety Center for 55 different types of aircraft in operation since 1950. A mishap is defined as an unplanned, noncombat-related event resulting in death, injury, occupational illness, or damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. The analysis focuses on three classes of mishap events: (1) Class A mishaps, (2) destroyed aircraft, and (3) pilot fatalities. The focus of this analysis is to identify trends in military aircraft mishap rates going back to the 1950s and the significance of aircraft design vintage, age, and certain broad aircraft attributes on mishap rates. |
