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?

The plane would weigh too much and use large amounts of fuel.

Because the casing material is so heavy (so as to withstand impact).
But did you know that the outer case of the "black box" is coloured orange - it is easier looking for something coloured orange than black (especially after a fire when everywhere is charred.)

i often ask myself the same question but i think it has something to do with wat the box is made of and would cause the plane to be to heavy to get of the ground

It would be too heavy to get off the ground, I think

cos it would be too heavy.
Not much point in a plane that can't actually fly..........

I know what you mean, when I check in and they ask me where I want to sit, I always say "Next to the flight recorder please !!"

I don't think that idea would take off.
