The history of aviation safety: Putting passengers’ safety first

Significant improvements in safety have been made since the start of commercial aviation, allowing it to become a trusted mode of transportation that connects people and boosts businesses. In this video Airbus recaps the key improvements which have made air travel safer and more reliable since the 1940s. This includes developments such as improvements in aircraft technology, as well as enhancements in flight training, navigation and air traffic control. The aviation industry continues to evolve, but its top priority is the same: getting passengers to their destinations safely.

It is very respectable that Airbus mentions its arch rival Boeing for introducing the first ever commercial airliner (707). this shows a great deal of appreciation from Airbus and proves that you can be successful and still cherish your rival's legacy and contribution to your industry.

Excellent historical summary. Happy International Civil Aviation Day!!!

Commercial aviation is the safest form of transportation in the world today. It's far safer then driving or even rail travel. Even in countries that don't have a great record of aviation safety, you're still better off taking a plane.

Turbofan engines were introduced before 1969, the Rolls Royce Conway then the Pratt & Whitney JT3D in the early 60s

so I guess the last plane in the video shows a hint of what airbus is cooking for the future :P

Kind of ironic coming from Airbus since many of the last accidents we've seen that are the airplane's fault are Airbus'

[tophatmeerkat]

I find it ironic the plane looked like a 737 when they talked about the turbofan engines

[nsleone]

umm... the first jet engine was built in 1945, not 55. im saying in general aviation
