Propulsion Type
Figure 9 shows the spread of accidents or serious incidents by the type of propulsion of the aircraft. The majority
of the occurrences involved Turbofan powered aircraft, but this is to be expected as this type of engine powers
the more aircraft in the commercial fleet than either turboprop or reciprocating engines.
