black boxes?

Question

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes? Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Answer 1

A number of observational comedians have expressed their view that, because the box seems to be indestructable, the substance used to make the box should be used to make the entire airplane. However, writer Douglas Adams observed that, "...because flight recorders are made out titanium and that if you made planes out of titanium rather than aluminium they’d be far too heavy to get off the ground in the first place

Answer 2

That's a good question, but how do you think you would come out if you were in a plane that was made out of the same substance the black boxes were and crashed into the ground?

Answer 3

The black boxes aren't really indestructible. Many times they are destroyed or cannot be found.

Answer 4

Because they are really not that indestructable. They are made to take the beating so that the equipment inside does not get damaged. usually the boxes themselves are pretty beat up when they find them.

Answer 5

you know that's a great question...except for the fact that the plane would then be to heavy to fly, things that make you go hhhhhhmm

Answer 6

why were the ones from 9/11 missing?

Answer 7

because the plane would be too heavy and can't fly. Go and buy yourself a better jokebook

Answer 8

seriously - could you be more unoriginal? That is the oldest/worst joke.

If you're serious - the plane would be too heavy.

Answer 9

The material would be to heavy to lift off of the ground.

Answer 10

Because then the airplane will be too heavy and won't be able to lift off the ground.
