If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?

If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole airplane made out of it?If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?I cannot believe someone is asking a question like this!!! You must be joking, right?

If you are not, the answer is, black boxes are protected by material that absorbs impacts. The box itself may be banged up but the recorder most of the time is not. Do not get me wrong sometimes in a plane crash the black box is destroyed...

It would be imposable to put a, I guess you would call it a shield around the aircraft to protect it during impact.

Also when aircraft are put into production, money IS NOT an issue. So Mary A is wrong about money, but as new technology, when making aircraft they do use lightweight but strong material for the aircraft's skin...

if Yahoo Answers offers the feature to search for questions that have been asked a million times already, why dont people use it?

beats meIf "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?it's funny that everyone talks about weight and aerodynamics but nobody mentions that if the aircraft body was indestructible the passengers would bounce around the inside like BB's in an oil drum. The human body is the limiting factor. FDRs and CVRs can take about 2600 times the force of gravity... no matter what we're riding in, humans can't!



Why do you think cars are built with crumple zones and not out of thick steel like they used to be?If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?
The recorders do become damaged in some wrecks.But the plane would be too heavy to fly.the boxes are constructed of steel instead of aluminum.If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?It is the question of the ages...

when a tree falls and there is no one around, does it make a sound?
1. the blackboxes are often damaged or even destroyed in the impact.



2. the aircraft would be too heavy to fly when made out of steel completely. have you ever seen an armor flying?If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?
Very original...

Cause it has to fly to be a plane...If "black box"flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash,y isn't the whole plane made out of it?
A number of reasons. The different products used for different parts of the plant are chosen due to their weight, cost and flexibility (there are more technical terms, but we will go with this). The black box flight recorder may be hard to damage, but to translate that into a plane, you may end up with walls two feet thick that weigh tons! Then you would need more fuel, more powerful engines, and probably longer runways to get you off the ground.
becuase the material they use for the blackboxes cannot withstand, the elements needed for flight. super strong, super flexible, super lightweight materials are the best for flying. if you made the whole plane out of the blackbox. it would take several rocket engines to get it off the ground, and it would be hard to turn, etc.
I second Marks analysis of your attempt to be a spart ***. Would the airplane be black and possibly made of rubber?
I believe Chris Rock asked this question during on of his stand-up acts that's on video.
blackbox is a really hard material...itx rare if it getx destroyed but if it doz den also nething much will hppn coz it jhuz records the things spoken
the plane will become toooo heavy to fly.

and will need atleast 20 engines to fly the fuel utilised will be ten times more

so cost of ur ticket too...
First off, I'm guessing that you're just being a smartass. But if not.....



The box itself is often damaged. The equipment inside, however, is mounted using impact absorbing material that will keep it intact.



To duplicate this with the entire plane, you would have to encase the airplane inside a container filled with impact absorbing material.



Kinda of makes the plane less aerodynamic and hard to fly.
Not again.
I can`t understand sorry
Its not only the material of the black box but its position at a safer place in aircraft ,like in tail , saves it from damage.
The blackbox is made in such a way as to withstand sudden deceleration and impact. To manufacture a plane to this standard would make it too heavy to fly with little passenger room, space for the fuel or cargo. This is like saying "Why can't a car be made like a rubber ball" which will bounce and will never break on impact. Think about it.
