Thank you for at least bothering to research and link.
A question.
If they decided they were losing too many reaper/predator and built a cockpit on top and sat a pilot in it.
What do you think he could do to prevent a crash post engine failure in his aircraft?
They are single engine aircraft with very limited/zero redundancy operating in a warzone.
However, I suspect that if you were to remove crashes where the failure made the type of pilot irrelevant, the picture would still make their loss rate worse than airliners.
Almost as if......
They are built to a lower safety standard because they don't carry people?
If you built a passenger carrying version the drivers just might be a bit different?
I would not use PPL aircraft crash figures to show how dangerous airline flying is because it would be disingenuous.
Incidentally, early piloted aircraft fell like flies too.
They got better though and then passengers got on.
Plus of course these are not autonomous. They are remote piloted. Totally different challenges.
