Safety target for Supersonic Transport has been set by governments sponsoring project; this is to achieve safety level at least as good as that of subsonic aircraft at same time; analysis of present accident trends is used to draw conclusions that will help in task of certifying airworthiness of supersonic aircraft; if present rate of improvement in safety continues, accident rate in early 1970's can be expected to be some 20 to 25% below today's figures and target for SST must be for improvement of 30%; some examples of scientific approach to safety requirements, especially airworthiness requirements, are presented.
