If Black Box could not be damaged in plane crash, why isn't the entire air craft made out of this stuff?
Answers:
I like your thinking.however consider this:
Ok, so the plane crashes down and the plane is fine, but the people still die due to the impact, or some die and some are paralized forever due to their spinal cord injuries!
What money did you save by making the plane out of the same material that is very costly?
Did you ever hear that people die in a car crash but the car ..is salvaged.not totaled?
yawn ... too heavy!!
cant make plane of 1/2 inch steel, it wouldent fly. why cant they make a good 5 cent cup of coffee.
good question so why just aircraft why not everything
man invents wheel.
too expensive, won't fly
too heavy to fly
Because the plane would be so heavy that it could not fly.
becuase they dont have enough of it or the money to make all those airplanes around the world for everyone
TOO HEAVY?
you can't make a plane out of it because every bit that was left over was used to make the BatMobile.
OK, for the sake of argument, let's say they do build a plane out of this stuff and they do figure out a way to actually get it off the ground. The passengers would still be killed in a crash. No one would survive smacking into the ground at the speed the plane would be traveling.
This question is asked at least twice a week.
1: The material and construction would make the plane too heavy to fly.
2: The black box survives because of its location in the aircraft (at the back) and then not always.
3: The black box is designed to withstand a large impact once. Aircraft need to withstand take off, pressuruzation, and landing up to 100,000 times.
4: Even if the aircraft was made 'indestructable', going from 600MPH to 0MPH in a few seconds will turn anyone into hamburger.
The most dangerous part of flying is the cab ride to the airport. 9/11 would have to happen every month to equal North American car accidents.
Because it's too heavy and it's not cheap.
the black box does get damaged, its the pieces inside that they can download all the relevant information
it would be be too heavy to fly
Then it would be too heavy to get off the ground.
Because black boxes aren't black, they are orange, so maybe easy jet are safer than anything else in the sky!
too heavy
but would like seat inside the black box
The plane would be so heavy it could not get off the ground.
Have you ever heard of a flying tank.
Because they cant see black at night
toio expensive/heavy/uneconomical the list is endless.
Once again, my answer is, because the roads are not wide enough.
For those of you new to sarcasm, it means that the aircraft would be so heavy that it could not take off, and would have to taxi everywhere.
The "black boxes" (actually 2 per aircraft, usually.a flight data recorder, and a cockpit voice recorder) are actually a stripped high visibility orange.
Originally, they were placed where the wing met the fuselage, the strongest part of the plane, however, it's where the fuel tanks are.
After a few burned up, they relocated them to the tail section (when was the last time you heard of a plane backing into a mountain at 400 mph?)
This started the rumor that the back of the airplane was the safest place to sit, but remember..it doesn't matter which end of the banana goes into the Cuisinart last, it all comes out looking the same!
the same ?
Over and over
The weight would require a super powerful engine to lift it. Steal one from a Concorde and you might be fine, but other than that, too heavy.
For one one thing it would be to heavy for another .
Take a small toy car and through it out of the top window you will find hardly a scratch but if you took a real car from the same height it would crush like an orange.
Another is if you hit something in a vehicle that dint crush to some point ,on impact you would continue to move at the same velocity even though the plane had stopped so all your body parts would be ripped apart.
sorry you did ask
The black box has a massive crumple zone the same as cars do. It's called "the aeroplane and 300 screaming passengers".
Basically it gets cushioned to a degree by the actual plane.
Because what is inside an airplane is soft and mushy.
G's are acceptable on metal parts inside a black box. But people don't like the G's introduced to the body when hitting the ground at 500mph.
Our soft mushy insides like to end up on the out side.
So even if planes were made out of 1/2inch steel, that just means the inside of the plane would like the inside of a half eaten strawberry jelly jar.
It is an increadible misnomer to call the "black" boxes indestructable. I have never seen one from a crash that was not nearly destroyed. Like a car, these are designed to destroy their outer shells to protect their contents from becoming too damaged to retrieve the data they contain.
When an airplane crashes there is too much energy to absorb in this fashion regardless of the construction. According to the History channel, you are 5,000,000 times more likely to get into a car crash and die on your way to the airport than you are to be involved in a fatal airplane crash. Why doesn't someone do something about that instead?
What an idiot, please do not become an aircraft designer.why not install air bags while your at it, and maybe ejection seats for the 350+ passangers.There'd be a lot of painfull heads if the roof is made from 35mm steel or titanium!
