It is hoped that the incident of the Yeti Airlines plane that crashed in Nepal will soon find out about the cause, after officers managed to find the plane's black box.
The black box, aka the black box, which is an important object for uncovering the cause of a plane crash, was originally orange. Why is the black box orange and not black according to its name?
Of course not without purpose, the choice of orange color was determined so that the black box is easy to find because it is a striking color. This is to make it easier for the SAR (Search And Rescue) team to find the plane's black box if it has an accident. If it is black, it will certainly complicate the search, especially in dark conditions or in the sea.
Compiled by us from various sources, Tuesday (17/1/2022) the black box was first created in the 1950s by David Warren. He created a black box inspired by the plane crash that took his father's life. When it was created, the name of this device was not a black box but ARL Flight Memory Unit.
British company S Davall and Son, who first commercialized the black box, originally named this device the Red Egg or Red Egg because of its egg-like shape and red color.
It is not known for certain the origin of this orange box is called a black box. Meanwhile, aviation experts call black boxes electronic flight data recorders.
To note, the first black box model did have a dark inside. Most likely this is why this device is called a black box.
Another opinion says that the naming of the black box was started by the mention of a journalist. Once while on duty, he found a charred black box from an airplane that had crashed.
What is clear, until now people around the world call this device a black box or black box. This object is very important to help investigators analyze the last seconds before an accident occurs.
