Study Shows Global Airline Safety Continues Improving
News summary

Recent studies highlight significant advancements in aviation safety and drone technology. Research from MIT reveals that the likelihood of a fatal plane crash has dramatically decreased, with the risk of death during air travel now at one in 13.7 million, an improvement from one in 7.9 million from 2008 to 2017, and a stark contrast to one in 350,000 during the late 1960s. This downward trend in aviation fatalities is attributed to continuous improvements in aircraft safety. Meanwhile, a separate study from RMIT University shows that the flight stability of birds of prey, specifically Nankeen Kestrels, could inspire safer drone designs for urban environments, enhancing their utility in applications such as parcel delivery. This research indicates that birds use efficient wing adjustments for stability, which can be adapted for fixed-wing aircraft. Wizz Air is also focusing on sustainability, aiming to lead in environmental practices within the aviation sector by investing in fuel-efficient technology and promoting social responsibility.
