Why don't they make?

Question

aeroplanes out of the same material as the black box recorder, that never gets damaged???

Answer 1

if it were probable, it would probably be done already

Answer 2

The orange Black Box recorder is very highly armoured and weighs quite a lot....I was going to say weighs a ton....LOL....

Because of its heavy protection, even in a severe crash its inner mechanism will survive for later retrieval of the stored flight data and cockpit voice recording it holds.

An aircraft's airframe is designed for lightness as well as strength but it must be flexible as well. Because of the composite materials used in most modern aircraft the lightness and strength requirements are met with greater reliability and stress handling capacity then ever achievable before their use, allowing better fuel economy and higher payload capacity as well as much better flight performance characteristics than earlier designs.

If an aircraft were to be made with the armour of the Black Box Flight Recorder then it would need to be built with rocket engines about the size of the space shuttle, wings about the size of the Empire State Building and airborne fuel tankers would be refuelling it about every 7 or 8 minutes.

On top of that your ticket fare cost would be able to clear the national debt and the only luggage you could carry would fit inside your wallet....LOL......no its unfeasible...sorry....

Answer 3

Several reasons,
1. the materials are not completely invincible, they do at times get damaged, they are just more likely to survive because of their small compact shape and design.
2. To make the aircraft as sturdy as the black box devices would require sooo much material and weight as to be completely impractical. It would be almost impossible to get it off of the ground, requiring much longer runways, would require much sturdier landing gear and many more or much better built tires.
It is just cost prohibitive and very impractical.

Answer 4

the material is way too dense it would never get off the ground, which defeats the object of an aeroplane lol

Answer 5

Yeah! U are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The aeroplanes made up of "THAT" material will never get damaged FOR THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OFF TO MEET AN ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Even if you could make a viable plane out of that material.
wouldnt it prove useless in the end, you'd have a very strong plane which if crashed would still kill all the people inside. An explosion would probably still mess up the engines.

but at least no'one could vandalise it.

Answer 7

PS The black box is actually bright ORANGE with diagonal WHITE stripes so that it can be seen and recovered easily. It's called a 'Black' box after the surname of the man who invented it. (True!).

Answer 8

Because the stand-up comedian that first used this joke 20 years ago put a patent on the idea.

Answer 9

This question has been asked so many times I am surprised Yahoo let it through. Everyone knows the answer (because the 'plane would be too heavy to lift off) so don't waste your points asking pointless questions if you want to move up a level.

Answer 10

Too heavy

Answer 11

they would not get off the ground
