Flight Recorder

Flight recorders, commonly known as "black boxes", have evolved since their creation in 1942 to better survive crashes and help investigators. Black boxes are now located in the tail of planes and can withstand over 1,100 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes and immersion at depths of over 6,100 meters for 30 days. They contain cockpit voice and flight data recorders and are painted orange for visibility. Following a crash, black boxes emit ultrasonic signals to help with underwater location for up to 30 days. In addition to planes, black boxes are now also used in trains and cars.

Black Box
Name: Huynh Minh Quoc Class: 11DTH03

History
The first modern flight recorder, called "Mata Hari", was created in 1942 by Finnish aviation engineer Veijo Hietala. In 1965 black boxes were redesigned and moved to the rear of airplanes to improve the probability of successful data retrieval after a crash. In 1953, Australian engineer David Warren conceived a device that would record not only the instruments reading, but also the cockpit voices. He built the first prototype in 1958.

Structure
In many aircraft accidents, the only devices is part of the core activities of the two black boxes can design powerful impact resistance (CSMU).

Typically the black box can withstand temperatures higher to 1.100oC of 30 continuous minutes and immersion depths of up to 6.100m in 30 days.
Both black boxes are located in the tail section of the plane.

CSMU

Uses
Although known as black boxes, in fact they are painted bright orange to the most visible, due to the high contrast on the ground, leaves and water. They also mounted equipment underwater location beacon (ULB). Each signal device capable of detecting the ultrasonic waves once per second and continuously for 30 days.

Today, the black box is not only used in the aircraft, but also be mounted on the trains and cars.
