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?

..........A 3 8 0
;)

.......Boeing 777?

-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..

The Concorde almost, what shame after such a long spell!

You can cross the IL-96 off the list. They put one into the deck abouta year ago on a training/repositioning flight. There were no paying pax on board.

actually Parrot it was not an IL-96 but an 86 and I do believe it was from an overzealous pilot that said 'lets see what she can do'
The IL-96 has not suffered a hull loss.

As far as I know A340?

Spruce Goose as well.

Condorde had many incidents operating for both BA and Airfrance, including bits of rudder that fell off on 3 occasions.

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.

4HP

Trentino, I think you are right ..it was an IL-86.

A318, B717 and........ Dassault Mercure.

if there is any, dont let old J. O get hold of the stats and maybe ''want'' one... the track record might be lost within a few days after perchase.

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?

..........Eclipse 500 :}

Haven't checked the records to confirm this one, but a friend of mine who was a design engineer on the VC-10 claimed that the type had no hull losses.

VC10: 7 hull-losses.
See database.

For a more or less complete list check Aviation Safety Network.

Breguet-763/765, certainly cool looking and accident free....

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

Proberbly the Airbus A330.The only hull loss I can recall was during flight testing at the factory,no losses in actual service.
