  In the initial years of aviation (1900s–1920s) hull losses were common due to limited understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft technology. Pioneering aviators like the Wright Brothers and their contemporaries faced numerous accidents and losses.
  
  World War I and World War II extensively used military aircraft, leading to numerous hull losses in combat. The post-war period witnessed the rapid development of commercial aviation. The introduction of pressurized cabins, jet engines, and improved navigation systems reduced the likelihood of hull losses in commercial aviation.
  
  The emergence of jet aircraft in the 1950s led to faster, more reliable, and safer aircraft. However, the early years of the jet age also saw some high-profile accidents and hull losses, prompting improvements in training and safety regulations.
