The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR), commonly called the "black boxes", are designed to withstand a fire burning at 1100oC for 30 minutes. Airplane crashes sometimes result in fires that can become extremely hot due to the large quanitities of jet fuel onboard the aircraft. Without this fire resistant design, the data on the black boxes could be lost in the fire, rendering the subsequent crash investigation much more difficult and less productive.
