Which aircraft have suffered no hull losses??
Hey there all, I was having an interesting discussion the other night about which type of aircraft have never been involved in a crash before, whether it be pilot error, or mechanical failure, or what ever reason. Can anyone think of an aircraft type that has suffered no hull losses before?

-Spoose Goose (shortly after WWII, Wingspan over 300 ft..)
-AN 225
both only once build (ok., the Spoose Goose never really flew for long..)
Edit:
IL 96 and TU 204 as well as far I am aware of...
737-NG?
Dornier 328-Jet
EMB 170, 135
C-17 Globemaster..

www.b737.org.uk still indicates that no 737 NG has sufffered a hull loss, and it seems to get updated quite regularly. Also, there are some Airbus variants that have a clean record, but I can't remember which, so that's pretty useless!

Air France had an A340 hull-loss on the ground - early S/N cargo door (yellow) electric pump overheated & the whole fuselage section was toast.
Air Mauritius experienced a similar event & were lucky not to have a hull-loss.
Then there were a couple of Sri Lankan a/c taken out on the ground in CMB.

Wheels up
>>Condorde had many incidents operating for both BA and Airfrance, including bits of rudder that fell off on 3 occasions.<<
Oh really? Many incidents? Or is the rudder incident the only one you've really heard about, and you just threw in the 'many' bit for effect?

Maybe I should rephrase my question slightly. I wonder which Aircraft have suffered the least hull losses versus the most hours flown. Probabaly 747??
