Plane Crash Rates: Why does US make the shittiest quality planes

Planes and their crash rates.

F-16 --> 14.5%
F-15 --> 10%
F-18 --> 16%

Compared to Russian "shit"

Su-27 --> 7%
Mig-21 --> 7%
Mig-29 --> 6%

Considering Russian planes are operated in much worser conditions by poorfag armies, why is the USA so shitty at designing planes.

I guess the Russian hype is actually true, while USA is bunch of incompetent fools.

I guess slavshit is false and amerishit is true

It doesnt control for anything. It is simply all planes crashed over all planes produced through their lifetime.

If im going to control for all that tiny variables im going to need a 8 axis graph. That would be a fuckin research paper. And why do you need all those anyway for a basic understanding?

For every comparison made here do you account for all that? Also what is normal distribution?

>>
>>31181685
Planes have maintenance and service lives attached to them and if operated within their limits shouldnt crash. But hey it crashes like crazy with american planes. I wonder why.

>>31181710

What a ridiculous cop out. If you want parameters like weight of pilot and sexual orientation of the pilot. Fuck off.

Planes are delivered to a country with specified operating range. The expectation on delivery means all the planes delivered function well under the factory quoted range.

I assume all countries with a remotely competent army I hope operate within manufacturer guidelines.

This means if planes are falling out either the US army is run by a bunch of rag tags who flout the guidelines or the design guarantee given the manufacturer is bull shit. The operating conditions they specified are bullshit.

Either way it doesnt reflect right on the US

The planes have to take off in the first place to crash.

Yeah your dick is larger than russias. Im not disputing it. Funny how you are so quick to point that out. Even though we are dealing in mother fuckin percentages.

>I like how you just blatantly ignore all of the external factors that go into airplane crashes.

Are you saying all the crashed are because the USAF operates its plane outside design parameters?

If so why the fuck dont your designers see where they operate and how they operate and then consider it during design.

This only means one thing. The designers live in a insulated theoretical world with no knowledge of what conditions the planes actually operate in the forces.

This clearly reflects my title. the designers are clueless on where the airforce works with their planes. Which is the definition of shitty designing
>>
>>31181827
Bull fuckin shit. Do you mean US airforce operates its planes outside operating conditions specified by manufacturers.? because 55 hours or 100 hours, there is scheduled maintenance to fix the wear and tear. ANd if by flying within the guide lines the planes are still falling, its either shitty maintenance or shitty designing.

There are such things as human error and parts failure/improper maintenance or plain old mother nature. Things that some arbitrary "don't fly for x hours" limit is going to prevent or solve. The simple fact is the more a plane flies, the more chances of something going wrong.

It's like comparing a Toyata Hilux that crashed after 1000 miles to a Ford Pinto that never crashed in 10. Statistics without context are misleading at the very least and outright dishonest at the very worst.

IT shoudnt crash twice the rates of what Russia offers. Thats what im saying. Why do you retards always talk in hyperboles.

>>31181923
Human error, improper maintenance means USAF is poorly trained compared to russia.

Mother nature can account for the odd downdrafts or fog or some weird shit. If 15% of planes are facing this "mother nature" its no longer an exception. It comes within the operating regime and designers have to account for them is all im saying.

>It's like comparing a Toyata Hilux that crashed after 1000 miles to a Ford Pinto that never crashed in 10.

Except the hilux comes with a manual that says this can survive 100,000 miles if you do three services in specified intervals. Yet it crashes after doing all the services. So either service was shit or the original claim of 100,000 by the manufacturer was a lie.

Lets even russia out of this for a moment,

Every 10 planes produced has 1.5 planes crashing in the case of the F-16. Why is this even allowed. Is it that the designers dont understand the conditions where the plane is operated?

>I'm not going to engage in a discussion about statistics with someone who clearly doesn't understand how to generate, analyze, organize, present, control, and read data

Ive clearly set my boundary in the above comments. If you cant wrap your head around that Im sorry,

The boundary is assuming that both countries operate and service their aircrafts under manufacturer specified limits, why do american aircrafts crash at twice the rates? Does that mean american designers give false guidelines/incapable of judging real world conditions or the maintenance crews are incompetent to operate it within said guidelines.

Very simple premise.

>>31182046
idk. but if they did their designer when confronted with a problem stop and rectify it. That maybe results in fewer crashes unlike incompetent american designers

>>31182048

No idea. Not a russian or anywhere remotely near. And i have 3 pairs already. anymore would be a waste.
>>
>>31182104
The simple explanation is that the US flies it's planes more frequently and in more extreme conditions than Russia ever dares try to do. The USAF and USN learned the hard way that 100% safe flying/training doctrine was terrible for actually preparing pilots for combat, so they created Red Flag and Top Gun and aggressively train pilots even in oeacetime. Sure, the tradeoff is a higher accident rate, but they get much better pilots out of it.

And why do think every foreign air force is always begging to get an invite to Red Flag and won't give the Russian air force the time of day?

ALL YOU RETARDED CONSCRIPT BURGERS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGES MEAN.

Fuck it feels like a middle school class.

Its in mother fuckin percentages. Numbers dont matter. because it has been normalised to 100 units. Whew

And it doesnt matter how long it operates as long it is maintained as per manufacturer guidelines. Is that not what the manufacturer says? REplace this part after 50 hours and you are good to go.

But now if that part fails at 75 hours even though it was replaced at 50 hours, wtf does that mean. Someone is incompetent in the chain.

Because you use the word "rate" without justifying your usage of it. Logically the word rate should refer to the number of crashes per flight hour and/or flight mission. Using the word "rate" to describe the number of airframe losses compared to airframes manufactured is nonsensical.

Also, you assume that all military aviation accidents are solely due to mechanical failure, which is a mistake in itself.

Agree this leaves 2 more factors. pilot skill and unexpected shit. pilot skill again reflects poorly.
If the unexpected shit is in the order of double digit percentages it no longer is unexpected. It is the operating regime. Reflects poorly on the designers again

It's also notable that the F-15 and F-16 had a fundamentally flawed engine (Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-100) when they entered service, that combined with a contract renegotiation that got P&W out of both endurance testing and warranty support, caused serious problems until they could get a proper competitive environment going. The F-15s were upgraded to P&W F100-PW-220, and F-16s either that or the GE F110-GE-100.

>>
>>31182300

You have given no justification for the use of this metric to compare USSR/Russian aircraft with US aircraft.

There is an inherent risk of an incident per flight hour and takeoff + landing cycle. No shit the RuAF had fewer accidents per airframe than the USAF/USN since in the 90s their pilots flew a tenth the hours that the Americans did, while they couldn't afford to keep the airframes that were manufactured by the USSR operational.
>>
>>31182567
There were other things going on too, the F-16's fly by wire tech was still pretty experimental as well at the time and had some serious glitches that have since been worked out.

And after all of those issues, and the F-22's teething issues in production, that's why the LRIP process was introduced for the F-35.

The difference with Russian fighters is that they're mostly doing major upgrade programs every ten years on the Flanker with current tech. Safe, but not particularly great at advancing the fleet.

If you fly your planes ten times as often as the other guy, and crash twice as often as him, that means your planes are five times less crash-tastic.
