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. -R -- Every complex, difficult problem has a simple, easy solution - which is wrong.
