A hull loss is an aviation accident that damages the aircraft beyond economic repair, [1] resulting in a total loss. The term also applies to situations where the aircraft is missing, the search for its wreckage is terminated, or the wreckage is logistically inaccessible.
As of March 2024, 180 aviation accidents and incidents have occurred, [1] including 38 hull-loss accidents, [2] resulting in a total of 1490 fatalities. [ 3 ] Through to 2015, the Airbus A320 family has experienced 0.12 fatal hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs, and 0.26 total hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs; one of ...
Pan Am Flight 93 was the first hull loss of a Boeing 747 (747-121), the result of terrorism after it was hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. On September 6, 1970, a new Pan Am aircraft flying from Amsterdam to New York City was hijacked and flown first to Beirut, then to Cairo. Shortly after the occupants were ...
This was both the first fatal crash of a Tupolev Tu-134 and also was the first hull loss of one. [2] 7 October 1969 A Malév Hungarian Airlines Tu-134 (HA-LBC) with 53 people on board sustained substantial damage when landing at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol after the right hand landing gear retracted. There were no casualties. [3] 19 November 1969
The buildup of biofouling on marine vessels poses a significant problem. In some instances, the hull structure and propulsion systems can be damaged. [3] The accumulation of biofoulers on hulls can increase both the hydrodynamic volume of a vessel and the hydrodynamic friction, leading to increased drag of up to 60%. [4]

Italian authorities said the Bayesian was probably at anchor when the storm struck, meaning it couldn't maneuver and ride the waves, according to Mitchell Stoller, a captain and maritime expert ...
Being essentially a surface chemistry phenomenon, this fouling mechanism can be very sensitive to factors that affect colloidal stability, e.g., zeta potential. A maximum fouling rate is usually observed when the fouling particles and the substrate exhibit opposite electrical charge, or near the point of zero charge of either of them.
