Why don't they make planes out of?

Question

The same stuff they make the Black box out of?

I've told you a million time calnickel Don't exaGgerate!

Answer 1

Cos black boxes ain't got windows in and they
would be flying blind.

Answer 2

As a matter of fact it IS made out of the same thing the "black box" is made of! Besides the electronics (and you know how "strong electronic equiplment is"), - the balance of the box etc is made of aluminum! The "box" is enclosed with in another "box" to make it pretty strong. and put in a place that is most likely not to recieve devestating damage in "normal impact"! Also an attempt is made to make it waterproof! This is generally somewhere near the "center section" where the wings are attached, - or near the tail (since that is what "hits last" in most crashes! This is sort of like a "safe within a bank (vault)", -- somebody will be able to maybe drive a car through the wall, but they won't drive one through the vault wall!! First of all the first wall will pretty well mess up the car, second it will slow it down a whole lot, so that it doesn't have speed enough to penetrate the "thick vault wall"! The electronics may be destroyed by the impact, -- but the "recorded" data will probably survive, and can be put on working equipment to read it!

Now lets talk about "strength", -- the structure of the airplane can be increased to a point that the weight exceeds the ability of the wings to "lift it", - this makes it a big-fast bus! So now lets assume that the "big fast bus" hits a wall going 350mph! If it is strong enough to remain intact on collision, big deal, -(the people will be splashed into a big puddle of jelly, becasue bodies can't survive this fast a "stop")! Only advantage, here is maybe it can be patched up and so it can repeat the "stop", -- with another load of people later!

It is impossible to make an indestructable aircraft, - or for that matter "black box", - sometimes they can get very little data, -or sometimes nothing, - dependiong on how bad the "black box" was damaged(smashed)!! By the way they can "burn up" too!

Answer 3

It would cost too much and the fare would be so expensive that there would have to a solid gold toilet and playboy bunnies 24/7 to justify the fares!

Added to the fact that the Black box survives by a combination of materials AND size/shape, meaning that even if the plane was made from the same stuff it wouldn't necessarily be any safer.

Answer 4

Like I have said at least a dozen times before - the 'black box' IS made of the same material as the rest of the plane, just constructed in a way so as to reduce impact damage as much as possible.

And they DO get trashed on impact.

Answer 5

Because the materials in a black box are too dense to take off the ground and it would be far too expensive for a company to produce this material in the size of a plane

A plane is made out of Aluminium because it is a very strong metal in proportion too its density

Answer 6

What would be the point? Even if a plane that crashed stayed together the force of the impact is what causes deaths.

Answer 7

There's a point. Isn't it racist to use the term "black box"?
Surprised the Politically Correct brigade haven't complained!

Answer 8

Weight is the main issue. It's very hard to fly a tank.

Answer 9

man just scroll down, someone asks this question every day. And someone slap Nick DiPaulo for making this dumb joke in the first place.

Answer 10

You imagine the lift you would need to get not just John, but the entire Prescott family off the ground, then ask that question!??!??!!!!!!!
