32 airframes lost out of a production run of 174. I know it's an Australian aircraft but I'm not sure I'd consider it a success, or even be on the fence as to whether it was an unmitigated failure.
18.6% of airframes.
If it were a 737 we'd have lost 1622 of them by now, ramping up to 68 crashing per year in 2015.
I get that it's Australia with very little aircraft design and manufacture knowledge outside of assembling what others have already successfully produced but where was the potential in the Nomad?
