Should aeroplanes be made out of the same material as the black box flight recorders they always survive?
Answers:
well at the very least the planes should be painted black
they would not fly, too heavy, and the structure of the box saves it!
NOT AGAIN !! they wouldnt fly as they would be too heavy
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.
airplanes not aeroplanes. and no
This is getting old. The strength of the black box comes not from the materila it is made from but its contruction as well
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.
The ONLY good thing about your question is you spelt AEROPLANES correctly.(not like our erroneous N.A. relatives).
the black box survives because it is built solidly. The plane would never get off the ground if it were built the same
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 The outdated term, 'Black Box', is therefore incorrect.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?
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.
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.
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.
The boxes themselves are NOT indestructible and often have to be sent off to the manufacturer for data recovery.
This question is sooo boring after the 100th time..NO.
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!!
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.
The plane would weigh too much to fly.
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.
