ALL fighter aircraft have an extremely durable data recorder, and in fact, though called a "black box" most are orange.

What is flight data recorder in aeroplane known as?

The 'Black Box' .The Black Box Flight Recorder is part of modern aircraft equipment as we still have air crashes. The other side of the flight data recorder is the flight deck voice recorder. Although most people still talk about a black box in fact it is painted bright orange to stand out from other parts of a crashed aircraft.


What kind of airplane uses the black box?

What is the purpose black box that is carried by any aircraft?

It is not really black, but still called "black box". It is a flight data recorder.There are two "black boxes" on modern day aircraft. One is the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) used to record cockpit, intercom, and pilot to controller communications. The other is the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) used to record aircraft flight control inputs, flight parameters (speed, altitude, etc.), and system performance. The primary use for both is in accident investigation. This record remains intact even after accidents also.

What is the function of the black box flight recorder?

Here is the answer: The purpose of the black box flight recorder was to record what was going on in the plane so that if a crash occurs, someone can listen to what happened and what the pilot was saying. In fact, the black box wasn't black at all. The Flight Data Recorder records data of various parameters of the aircraft such as airspeed, altitude, pilot inputs to some flight controls, positions of various controls(such as brakes and thrust reverser). These are used to investigate not only crashes but other events. For example, an aircraft may land hard and the FDR data will determine if the aircraft exceeded the landing load and if it requires an inspection. The Cockpit Voice Recorder is the other "black box" that records sounds and conversations inside the cockpit. This recorder runs on a loop that re-records over the data every 30 minutes or maybe longer. Accident investigators have used this to determine the what occurred in the cockpit. It has been used to study how the flight crew operates as a team to resolve problems and follow the instructions of the command pilot.


Is the black box flight data recorder on airplanes actually black?

It is orange with white stripes, to easy the recovery process in case of an airplane crash. 'Black box' is actually an electronics term and has nothing to do with color. It is the idea of making electronics (especially avionics) as a self contained, single unit that just gets installed and plugged in. Sockets on the 'box' match terminals of a wiring harness and the 'box' typically lives on a rack or a rail. Faults or modifications to the component are dealt with by exchanging 'boxes' with another in stock, rather than doing the work in the aircraft. This reduces the downtime of the aircraft for maintenance because aircraft don't make money on the ground. Think of it as plug-and-play for aircraft. The 'black box' actually is two 'boxes': the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. The function of the first is self explanatory, the latter stores telemetric data.

What is a black box?

"Black box" everywhere except aviation means a device whose users know what the inputs and outputs are, but not what's happening inside. In aviation, a "black box" (which is really painted orange so it's easy to find in the wreckage) is a recorder. Planes that are required to carry them have two - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.
