The failure of an auto engine is an apple compared to the failure of an

They do. Transport aircraft and some smaller jets have fancy pressure-
fuel-feed fillers.

Or the "Hoover nozzle", required by the FAA on jet fuel pumps. (And
matching "Hoover ring" to permit its use on aircraft not using avgas.)

Many have ABS.

For that matter, ABS was invented first for aircraft; by Voisin in 1929.
Dunlop produced a version during the 1950s, some of which are still in
use.

Ground motor vehicles got it much later. Experimentally on motorcycles
in 1958 (Royal Enfield, using Dunlop's Maxaret ABS system), and in the
'60s on some racing and limited production cars.

It wasn't until the early '70s that you could get the system with your
car, and production motorcycles saw it on the '88 BMW K100.

And even our 2006 Cessna 172S has
airbags built into the shoulder harnesses.

It's an option for some light-sport aircraft now, too.

I thought "Bloss" claimed to be some great aviation expert ...
