Accident factor and
% occurrence for jets

Why Skycars will not be affected

Skycars on-board radars will have more than 1 mile of visibility thru night, rain, fog, dust, ..

Skycars take-off and land vertically, and so do not need miles-long approaches

Skycar traffic communication system will not use error-prone human communication

Skycars terrain awareness is derived from 3 independent systems. Only if all three fail will Skycars be unaware of the terrain

Skycars do not get pushed around by turbulence – Skycar wings are small compared to body.

Skycars have 10X reserve propulsion capacity during flight

Skycars can react quickly – change thrust in 1/20 second

Skycars can land without airport.

No pilot required

Path is derived from 3 independent systems

Skycars will not use congested airports – vertical take-off needs no runway ( Note: 80% of all jet accidents are within ½ mile of airport)

Skycars can prevent mid-air collision with jet aircraft by keeping out of jet flight paths.

Skycars can avoid collisions with even birds or hot air balloons with on-board radar.
