Re: Who's flying today
propeller plane has always been safer than jet egines, jet is just a big bunsen burner, could snuff out in any instant, it is just poor maintenance, as always human beings is always the weakest link

Re: Who's flying today
They are equally safe. Prop engine usually has more moving parts, thus bigger chance something to breaking down. But I remember seeing stats that show in commercial use, both are equally safe. Couldn't find the stats now though.

Re: Who's flying today
I think the big question is ,,, Who did the regular maintenance on the plane and are they doing it on other planes like the one I'm about to get on .

Re: Who's flying today
I would imagine that is the case - speaking from a non-scientist, non-engineer perspective. However, I have always felt safer in a jet rather than a prop. It is probably based on the sense of security - false or otherwise - that the size and power a jet gives me. I've been on too many prop flights where it has felt that the aircraft has been fighting its way along, getting buffeted around. Jets, although still subject to turbulence and so forth, have a much more "Yeah? Fuck you winds and air pressure. This is where I'm going, and quickly too."rogerrabbit wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:50 pmThey are equally safe. Prop engine usually has more moving parts, thus bigger chance something to breaking down.

Re: Who's flying today
if u guys compare the airflow between the propeller and jet engine, airflow over prop plane are mostly diverted over its prop. where else for the jet engine all of the airflow are sucked into the engine, there fore in adverse weather i.e. volcano ashes, micro ice crystals and micro particles could adversely affect the jet engine.
who cant fly in fair weather? thats why prop plane are safer in adverse weather (another example NOAA flew ATR72 directly into hurricanes!!! for weather surveys), that being said jet engine is more efficient flying at FL300 and above, so jet plane encounter less weather and perceived to be safer (less turbulence)
