I drive a 23-year-old car design and have zero qualms about it.
Commercial aviation is one of the safest modes of transportation there is. That’s due to the safety procedures practiced by the operators, not faster FEA modeling. It’s far safer than even the latest cars, when driven by amateurs on public roads.
Is there some specific “safety critical design decision“ you think was lacking in the 777 era?
- apta 7y agoNewer cars are provably much safer compared to older models. They have both active safety systems, such as pre-collision braking, lane tracking, etc. as well as passive systems such as airbags and superior crumple zones. Not to mention they're much more efficient when it comes to fuel consumption. I don't know what your financial situation is, but I recommend that you research the issue. You can buy a good, safe, and reliable second hand car from a manufacturer like Toyota, Honda, etc.
