well at the very least the planes should be painted black

This question again. The plane would weigh about a billion tonnes and be too heavy to fly. It is the construction of the box that means it survives. The black box is not black they are Dayglow Orange in color, (makes them easier to find). They are obviously very difficult to destroy so can you imagine going through wreckage to find it. I suppose if they could make the plane out of the same material then when the plane did crash it would hit the ground like a lawn dart.

Airplanes are made out of the same material as the external housing of the black box. It's the inner padding, along with the relative toughness of the recording media, and the crushability of the aircraft's fuselage that permits the data to be recovered.
The boxes themselves are NOT indestructible and often have to be sent off to the manufacturer for data recovery.

In a be conscious, weight. and that's in basic terms portion of the story. The smaller the "field" the less demanding it extremely is to make it proceed to exist effect. With each improve in length of the "black field" it is going to become increasing impossible for it to take care of the blunt tension of a crash. no count number the ability of the fabrics used on a field an analogous regulations prepare, improve its length - cut back its survivability. the substantial portion of this "stay to tell the story" is making the contents of the "black field" stay or proceed to exist to tell what occurred. in case you have ever seen between the flight archives recorders after a crash they're extraordinarily beat up however the recorded archives is, in maximum situations, in basic terms superb. another issue (between many) is that airframe/airplane layout is often a compromise between weight, power, and fee. BTW, including your interest you're able to make a competent pilot.

In addition to what has been previously stated, if you did make an aircraft indestructible, everyone would still die. You would actually have more deaths, because even a survivable crash would force all the energy of the impact to the passengers. A collapsible structure is what makes vehicles accidents survivable.

Yes as everyone has said before that the aircraft would be too heavy to operate, as well as the construction of the black box makes it more able to stay intact in an accident.

Modern flight recorders are painted bright colours, e.g. fluorescent red, yellow or orange. The outdated term, 'Black Box', is therefore incorrect. It sounds dramatic though, doesn't it?
I believe after a particular air crash, these brightly painted objects were ignored because searchers were looking for literally black boxes, delaying their recovery for some time.

the black box survives because it is built solidly. The plane would never get off the ground if it were built the same

No ... it would make them too heavy and it would be almost impossible to sort out the scrap and find the black box after a crash.

This is getting old. The strength of the black box comes not from the materila it is made from but its contruction as well

No because then the plane would weigh a million pounds. If you crash a plane it is not going to matter what it is made out of.
