Whenever a plane goes down, (or even the space shuttle), there's a big search for the black box. When they find it, they invariably discover the tape with the data has been damaged by heat, sea water, etc. I get the impression they are still using analog tape recorders. It seems to me they could easily have a real-time digital stream of data to the ground. That way, if a plane crashes, they already have all the flight data. Can someone in aviation explain?
