1. Which airliner is the most lethal in terms of people killed per people carried?
2. Is the following statement true- Flying is 10 times safer than driving. Please state why.
3. Re automatic landing- which was the first plane to have a fully automated landing system?
4. Which aircrafts are the second and third most lethal in terms of people killed per miles flown?

We understand that cars stay on the ground so that when something goes wrong we generally remain on the ground.
When a plane goes "wrong" my first thought is "what's keeping us up here".
1. Concorde.
2. Yes, providing measured on miles travelled. If measured in cycles (numbers of journeys) then it's 4 times more dangerous.
3. Lookheed L1011 Tristar
4. Comet and Fokker 70/100 series.

I briefly worked with some aviation lawyers and it was quite disturbing to hear them correctly guess what fault brought a particular type of plane down.

So many memories- the sign that told you when you got to Mach 1 and 2 and the noise when it got out of restricted airspace. And the Concorde lounge and its amazing crustless cucumber sarnies.
We bought 4 double rows of seats when it was decommissioned and they are still in my ex's reception area.

worst thing (flying wise) I've experienced is a combat helicopter insertion (ooer missus) at night, where you're happily flying along at whatever hundred feet then they suddenly drop the whirly bird to the deck, halting the descent right at the last minute. By crackey that gives some weird sensations.
