  1. The black box is bright orange.

    Depending on the aircraft, it records cockpit voice (ie the flight crew talking to each other and on the radios) and flight data.  Flight data includes the position of the controls and critical data about the aircraft like engine performance, speed, heading and altitude.  The flight data can be used in computer programs to reconstruct the aircraft's flight profile prior to an accident.

    Both the flight data and voice recorders are used to aid accident investigators determine probable cause in an accident and develop preventative measures for the future.

  3. It is used in aeroplane's to detect the reason for the crash, if  crash occurs. It can survive plane crashes and it records the sounds in the cockpit.  Investigators turn to the airplane's flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), also known as "black boxes".  They can see what happened in the cockpit in the final moments. Even if the aeroplane is damaged, nothing will happen to the box.

    Even though the black box is orange in colour, it is called black box. This distinct color, along with the strips of reflective tape attached to the recorders' exteriors, help investigators locate the black boxes following an accident. These are especially helpful when a plane lands in the water. There are two possible origins of the term "black box": Some believe it is because early recorders were painted black, while others think it refers to the charring that occurs in post-accident fires.In addition to the paint and reflective tape, black boxes are equipped with an underwater locator beacon (ULB). If you look at the picture of a black box, you will almost always see a small, cylindrical object attached to one end of the device. While it doubles as a handle for carrying the black box, this cylinder is actually a beacon.

  4. the black box is actually orange.

    it can survive plane crashes, and it records the sounds in the cockpit, so plane crash investigators can see what happened in the cockpit in the final moments

  5. A black box is best known as the recording device on an airplane - a cockpit recorder that records the pilots conversations with control tower, air traffic, etc. and also an electronics recorder to record the values and alarm status of sensors.

    They are painted orange so that they can be found easier if a crash occurs.

    But, a "black box" is also something with an input and/or output that the insides of are unknown.  Such as a TV - you have an antenna for an input, and a picture/sound for an output, but everything in between is a "black box" because either you don't know what it does, or you don't care what it does.

  6. With any airplane crash, there are many unanswered questions as to what brought the plane down. Investigators turn to the airplane's flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), also known as "black boxes,"

    Although they are called "black boxes," aviation recorders are actually painted bright orange. This distinct color, along with the strips of reflective tape attached to the recorders' exteriors, help investigators locate the black boxes following an accident. These are especially helpful when a plane lands in the water. There are two possible origins of the term "black box": Some believe it is because early recorders were painted black, while others think it refers to the charring that occurs in post-accident fires.

    In addition to the paint and reflective tape, black boxes are equipped with an underwater locator beacon (ULB). If you look at the picture of a black box, you will almost always see a small, cylindrical object attached to one end of the device. While it doubles as a handle for carrying the black box, this cylinder is actually a beacon.  

  7. It refers to the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. In the event of an air crash, recordings from these two devices, along with evidence from the crash site, are pieced together to understand what went wrong.

    It's orange, with two diagonal white stripes.

    I've seen one of these myself, from a c-130 Hercules in the Singapore airshow 08.  

  8. SHORT ANSWER.It's a flight data recorder and its orange. It can also be a cockpit voice recorder.

  9. Its bright orange and it records the last 30 m of the crash,plus it records what the pilots say and said.

    Example: The pilot can say engine problem or instrument problem and so on but only if it crashes then the people can what went wrong and do an investigation on what the problem.
