Question:
If blackboxes in aeroplanes are indestructible why dont they make the plane out of the same stuff?
Answers:
Is a CDI (course deviation indicator) and an ADF (automatic direction finder) the same thing?
Because the plane would weight much more than it needs too and cost a lot more.Why don't we have sonic booms anymore?
Haven't heard this one before ;-)
was the first jet powered airplane made by Germany and what year?
My first guess would be that it would make the aircraft so heavy it would never be able to get off the ground.Alaskan Aircraft on saturday whats up with that?
It wouldn't get off the ground.How high does the fire from airplane fuel burn at?
Black boxes are located in aircraft location where during crash that aircraft part gets sheared and be thrown or least damaged. I am saying about the tail section of the aircraft. The black box itself gets damaged too, but the recorded part (sort of metal tape) is indestructible.Why do u think people like to pretend they're pilots in Yahoo?
It's a little easier protecting a 10 inch long box than a 150 foot long airplane.Flight Data Recorders (FDR's) and Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR's) are not indestructible. They're tough, but they are routinely damaged or destroyed during a severe crash.
What exactly is explosive decompression?
The "indestructible" image they hold is an urban legend and a product of the imagination of the media. (Remember the "unsinkable" Titanic?)
What was the name of the two people who flew the first manned flight?
Secondly, they're painted bright orange...in order that the crash investigators can more easily locate them in the wreckage. Nobody in the aviation industry calls them "black boxes." We call them FDR's or CVR's. Again, the "black box" moniker is a media invention.

It's not indestructable. It's protected mainly by the crushable cabin of the aircraft. Only the data recorder mechanism is hardened. If you built an aircraft to those standards, it would never leave the ground. Imagine an M1A Abrams tank with 3 foot wings.
Even if you had some magic material that was totally indestructible and light enough, the passengers would still all be killed. When the aircraft crashed, it would come to an instant stop but the passengers would keep moving at 500 MPH. They'd but cut in half by the seatbelts which would act like cheese slicers. The body parts would then be smashed into the seat or bulkhead in front of them and all of the guts and goo would spray all over the inside of the aircraft. Nice visual, eh?
What airlines replaced Pan american Airlines when it went out of business in 1991?
AGAIN? HOW CAN THIS BE ASKED EVERY FEW DAYS??helicopter and a plane are alike?
Stupid question, why does anyone answer.

Black boxes are tough, not indestructable.
which aircraft companies have dark grey planes?
Canon balls are tougher, so are iron bombs, why not make planes the same way as those? Well, because a 747 made the same way as a canon ball would weigh more than 30,000 tons instead of under 400.

STUPID question. NOT clever. Not even a little bit.
how much would a samll helicopter or samll jet cost ? best answer gets 10 points!?
The Flight Data Recorder or the so-called Black Box is really orange. Anything is destructible, but to what degree? Most are found as they radiate a signal for authorities to key-in on. All data can then be retrived to hopefully conclude something.can anybody tell me the method of makind a small aeroplane?
too much money, too much wieghtDoes anybody know of flying fish causing an accident with a Seaplane trying to land?
that's like asking "why don't they make life preservers out of rocks?"you cant coz it's heavy and expansive
I think that Stephen Wright (no relation to Orville or Wilbur) asked that same question.
