  1. I don’t think the engine failure being caused by the engine completely departing the airplane, or an un contained blade failure in the case of a 4 engine aircraft, and the subsequent collateral damage are considered when designing the aircraft to fly after losing a motor. It’s assumed that there’s a simple loss of power, and all the big pieces are still attached to the plane.
  2. Honestly, the private jets are so far ahead of airliners with regard to tech that they’d probably be fine winging it.
  3. You understand that the smaller airports still often have air traffic control towers, and that even if the private jets were to land and depart from uncontrolled airports that they’d have to get clearances and services to operate above 18,000 and near mid to large towered airports? Private jets don’t just takeoff, talk to no one and then land without ATC services.
  4. Also, old is a relative term for an airplane. Cycles of pressurizations, takeoffs and landings, and maximum power applications are more limiting than pure hours not unlike the difference in road miles on a car versus stop and go driving. A long haul plane like an MD-11 will typically have many hours, but relatively fewer cycles than a smaller narrow body domestic airliner like a 737 or A320. On the latter the cycles to hours ratio often runs a little more than 3:1 with an 80k hour airframe having 30k cycles whereas a wide body jet might be 5-6:1 or better.
