I'm speaking practically, not theoretically. Jet airliners would never exist in an anarchist society, too many things would go wrong before you progressed that far.

But I suspect most aviation regulation came about because people got hurt.

Bicycle rights were not protected in the constitution either, and they are barely regulated because they rarely hurt anyone (but the rider).
