Airplane black boxes, explained

Sometimes flight recorders are the only way the victims' families will know what happened to the plane.
Subscribe to our channel! goo.gl/0bsAjO
Immediately following an airplane crash anywhere in US territory, the National Transportation Safety Board dispatches a team of investigators to survey the wreckage, gather information from the airline and from air traffic control, and retrieve the plane's so-called "black boxes."
These flight recorders - one stores cockpit audio recordings, the other stores airplane instrument data - are sent to NTSB's lab in Washington, DC, for analysis. There, officials listen to what are sometimes the pilots' final, panicked moments of life. They interpret not only what the pilots were saying before the crash but also any snaps, bangs, and alarms captured by the cockpit area microphone.
By combining those audio clues with data from the plane's instruments and sensors, as well as evidence from the scene, investigators can usually determine the cause of the crash, even in cases with no surviving witnesses.

    Why not do both? Have the planes transmit data to a satellite and keep a flight recorder onboard in case the plane ceases transmitting data to the satellite. That way the onboard flight recorder continues recording data after data transmission has ceased.

    idk if you realize how many flights there are per day, it's barely worth it to be partaking in this degree of transmission (that anyone technical could tap into and potentially mess with) because of the couple plan crashes that happen every year.. they can usually find the black boxes and it's likely better to invest in the technology to make them more easily locatable in the worst case scenario

    Outside the aviation industry, a black box usually means "a unit in which an unknown process takes place". With black boxes, you only know what you put in and what came out, not what happened in there. It's often used in software and sometimes in engineering.

    4:45 "black box" in engineering and science refers to a subsystem whose internal components are either unknown or irrelevant to the current application. Only the subsystem's behavior (i.e. its input/output response) is considered. That's why it's called a "black box", you don't have knowledge of the inside of the box, only the inputs and outputs.

    Also if the data is streamed in realtime, AI servers can detect if the pilot has done something unusual (like setting one of the engines to idle in case of a possible engine failure) and report it back to someone below and communicate to the pilots when a pan / mayday or critical flights are detected. That can solve probably most of human caused crashes.

    To do that, the material the black box is made out of would have to be very light as well as very durable, and steel and titanium aren't exactly buoyant. There are very few light and strong materials out there able to withstand extreme force and heat, and even if such a material exists, it probably wouldn't be cost-effective to put one on every plane everywhere. And there's still the matter of the computer components storing information. We don't yet have the technology to make those lightweight yet.

    You're still not considering the fact that these things are INSIDE the plane, not on the outer shell ready to be detached once they're in the water. When a plane crashes, there are usually large chunks of plane instead of a million tiny pieces. These planes are stable, not made of glass. The box couldn't just magically float out of rubble, it has to be attached well.

    obviously you don't know what your talking about, let me explain. A GPS, by definition is used to position the plane by triangulate the position using satellites. This requires a transponder in the aircraft, which by the way exists. This means when the plane crashes the GPS stops working. Before you say it, no the tower can not always see the plane. There is a lot of airspace that is only towered by center or radar services.

    Blackbox, that I learned at a technology university in the Netherlands, means that it is dark black that you don't know what processes are happening inside the box to process inputs and to give outputs. You give inputs to the blackbox and you get outputs coming out from the box. Now since it is black or a box that contains a mystery or unknown processes you need to find out what's happening inside the box that can explain the relationships between the inputs and the outputs. In reality, the box colour is orange because it needs to be easy to find after an accident.

    A minor correction in that when a plan turns, the pilot makes use of both the rudder which controls the yaw (side to side movement of the plan) and the ailerons which control the roll of the aircraft (bank left or right). A coordinated turn is one where the correct amount of both rudder (by the pedals) and aileron (by the control column) input is imputed whereas an uncoordinated turn would be one where an excessive amount of either rudder or stick input is applied. Your video implied that rudder is hardly used, it is definitely used in order to maintain coordinated flight. Otherwise, great video and awesome graphics!

    The modern Black Boxes were invented by David Warren. He came up with the idea shortly after investigating the Commet crash of 1953. Without this brilliant man’s ingenuity many aviation accidents would have gone unsolved. Because of his invention many tragedies involving commercial aviation have been solved and have drastically made air travel one of the safest forms of transportation in the world. We owe a great debt to this man for his work. ❤️

    In military aviation line replaceable units (encased separate items) that contain control electronics (usually computers) are collectively called "black boxes". I believe this is because it is frequently a mystery to those who - when something breaks - replace them as to how exactly they work. In sum they are boxes that contain mysteries, termed "black", think "blacksite" or "black budget". Until recently the boxes were almost always painted black too (except for the flight data and voice recorders).
