Abstract
IT is a maxim of aircraft design and operation that economics and safety are complementary factors, and that it is always possible to achieve a favourable finacial return by ignoring safety considerations, whereas too a concentration on safety tends to result in economic failure. It is in the achievement of a fine balance of the two factors that the skill and ability of the efficienty designer and opretion manifest themselves.
