Joint philosophies of safe life, fail-safe, and failure safety in design of rotary wing craft with regard to commercial operation; rotor structure, power transmission, air frame and landing gear, stability and control, instruments, avionics, controls, electrical and hydraulic systems; flight-safe craft can be provided for regular intercity service in immediate future; by adherence to safety design methods craft entering service in late 60's and early 70's should be among safest built; records developed by three large urban helicopter airlines demonstrate better safety than fixed wing aircraft in spite of mechanical complexity.
