Colour Of Black Box

Large commercial aircraft are required to carry two separate black boxes or flight recorders – a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The term black-box is a misnomer as the flight recorders are actually painted orange to help in their recovery following an accident. Flight recorders are also fitted with a battery-powered sonar transducer to aid in underwater recovery (look for the shiny cylinder attached to the front of the recorder).

As everyone says, it's Orange to make it easier to find.
It's called a "black box" because that's a general term for a device whose inner workings are mysterious to most, but the input and the output are well-known and understood. It's also easier to say than "Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder".

It is usually very bright RED or a fluorescent ORANGE to make it easier to spot in the wreckage of a plane.

the box itself is black contained in a orange box in order to find it faster. it contains all the flight data. it was invented by a friend of mine in the late fifties at e-systems in clearwater, florida.

It's actually a reddish-orange color. Don't tell Fox Mulder.
