Should aeroplanes be made out of the same material as the black box flight recorders they always survive?

Question:


Answers:

can i be a pilot without liking stalls?

well at the very least the planes should be painted black

Is it true that airline pilots are censured if they report seeing UFO's?

they would not fly, too heavy, and the structure of the box saves it!

BF-109 messerschmitt or Spitfire which one is faster?

NOT AGAIN !! they wouldnt fly as they would be too heavy

With all the money from lottery going to daft things why dont the just spend a million and get that vulcan ...

No ... it would make them too heavy and it would be almost impossible to sort out the scrap and find the black box after a crash.

Is boeing 737 the most dangerous plane model?

airplanes not aeroplanes... and no

Is it straight or arched?

This is getting old. The strength of the black box comes not from the materila it is made from but its contruction as well

What does a Flight Test Engineer do ?

Yes as everyone has said before that the aircraft would be too heavy to operate, as well as the construction of the black box makes it more able to stay intact in an accident.

How to become commercial airline pilot For Air canada ?

The ONLY good thing about your question is you spelt AEROPLANES correctly...(not like our erroneous N.A. relatives)...

What is the price of an average helicopter?

the black box survives because it is built solidly. The plane would never get off the ground if it were built the same

How do I figure out the freezing level by subtracting 2*C from field elevation?

Modern flight recorders are painted bright colours, e.g. fluorescent red, yellow or orange. The outdated term, 'Black Box', is therefore incorrect. It sounds dramatic though, doesn't it?

Why would and aircraft company want to lease and aircraft?


I believe after a particular air crash, these brightly painted objects were ignored because searchers were looking for literally black boxes, delaying their recovery for some time.

can a pilot be color blind im but slightly i can see all colors it just shading is a little off?

In addition to what has been previously stated, if you did make an aircraft indestructible, everyone would still die. You would actually have more deaths, because even a survivable crash would force all the energy of the impact to the passengers. A collapsible structure is what makes vehicles accidents survivable.

How can you pick out a pilot in a room full of people?

Airplanes are made out of the same material as the external housing of the black box. It's the inner padding, along with the relative toughness of the recording media, and the crushability of the aircraft's fuselage that permits the data to be recovered.

Why are the U.S. flags on Continental's airplanes backwards?


The boxes themselves are NOT indestructible and often have to be sent off to the manufacturer for data recovery.

Can anyone help me with this aircraft oxygen system question I had on a JAR aircraft engineering test?

This question is sooo boring after the 100th time......NO.

VATSIM Squekbox?

mass and weight contribute to the way aircraft crash and survive compared to a small box... its not possible ... its like dropping an ant off a table and dropping you off a 100 foot cliff!!

why can't I get help with flight simulator 2004?

No because then the plane would weigh a million pounds. If you crash a plane it is not going to matter what it is made out of.

Any R/C pilots out there?

The plane would weigh too much to fly.

could the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) be built now?

This question again. The plane would weigh about a billion tonnes and be too heavy to fly. It is the construction of the box that means it survives. The black box is not black they are Dayglow Orange in color, (makes them easier to find). They are obviously very difficult to destroy so can you imagine going through wreckage to find it. I suppose if they could make the plane out of the same material then when the plane did crash it would hit the ground like a lawn dart.
