More like a whole honking heck of a lot.  You're talking about modern
automobile levels of reliability, for vehicles that work a lot harder
than automobiles, and have much higher stakes if something goes wrong.
Something like a combination of FAA's type certification program and
Airworthiness Bulletins with Japan's automobile inspection program
might do the trick, but it would be very expensive.

It's also several generations down the road - such a system cannot
catch design flaws, which will be found by the traditional means:
post-crash analysis.
