These are questions of increasing importance as new air
transport and passenger lines are being established rapidly,
as interest in flying on commercial routes is growing. Air j
lino officials and pilots have been quoted frequently as say-;
ing that travel by air is no more dangerous .than by other!
methods if the travel is over established routes with licensed
planes and pilots. '
An uulhorilalive survey of the fatality hazard is pub-1
lislied in the last Oregon Voter and gives some extremely in-j
lerestiiig information for those who arc watching air line do-;
velopments. Although the figures show that travel by air i
is moro dangerous than any other method at tho present j
lime, they also show that travel by air is not a seriously haz-j
ardous method of transportation that it is not much more i
dangerous compared with auto travel than auto travel is
when compared with travel by rail.
Airplane travel, the Voter figures show, is 35 times more
hazardous than motor car travel and 10(10 times inure dan
gerous than rail travel. Travel by motor vehicle, however, is
30 times more dangerous to life than travel by rail. In other
words, fatality records show that one passenger in an air
plane (established air lines only) is killed for every 1,100,00(1
miles traveled, that one passenger or occupant in a motor car
is killed for every 50,000,000 miles traveled, that one pas
senger in a railroad train is killed for every 1,100,000.000
miles traveled.
To choose to travel by airplane, therefore, instead of by
automobile is no more hazardous than to choose an automobile-
instead of a train. And one can expect to travel an
average of nearly a million and a half miles by air before
being killed which ought to be far enough.
Although these figures are interesting because thev
compare air travel with the more accepted means of trans-;
portalion, the most significant information in the Voter
article is that there was one fatality for every lOO.doo miles!
of air travel in a tbiee-year period Urn years ago, while in
the last three years there has been only one fatality for every
1100,000 miles of air travel. Also, that in spile of '"the Ire-1
mendous increase in all uses of airplanes the total nttmU'r of;
fatalities has remained almost level for the last ten years, or '
between KiO and 200 per year. i
Tiiat indicates a great deal for the futuie. U the safely
factor in airplane travel has multiplied fourteen limes in the
last ten years, we can reasonably expect it will be fourteen;
times as safe lu travel by air ten years from now, or not more'
than twice as dangerous as motor car travel. And it is prob-!
able that the increase in safety will be much greater in the1
future than in the past because so much attention is Ikmii::!
given the safely factor and so many developments are tak
ing place that will greatly reduce and travel hazards.
Kegardless of any comparison in favor of rail transporta
tion for safety's sake, it is obvious that airplanes offer a
means of travel sufficiently safe to make them increasingly
popular. The air industry and passenger lines are just get
ting started., , It's only a matter of a few years until air
travel will be as common and as universally accepted as
automobile travel of ten years ago.
