      So far, there have been 19 military aircraft crashes and one commercial crash in 2020. Those numbers include both helicopters and aeroplanes, but they don’t include other types of accident (like emergency landings or fuel dumps). Every year, flight technology gets better, so we can build stronger, faster, safer planes to keep passengers safer.
