Question

Why don't they just make the plane out of the black box stuff?

Answer 1

Ask Chris Rock

Answer 2

Just when we thought there was nobody left to ask that question.  

.

Even if an airplane could lift it's own weight if were also made of heavy steel, do you think it would just bounce off the ground when it crashed?

.

Answer 3

hope u didnt think too much..the box is small ,,made of super strong steel...a plane would be too heavy to fly...

Answer 4

The correct question is... why don't they make airplanes and cars out of nerf material?

Answer 5

It'd be way too espensive as well.

Answer 6

because you touch yourself at night.

Do a search.

Answer 7

oh my god I cant belive people still ask that

Answer 8

This was funny the first 3,742 times.  It's starting to get old, now.

Answer 9

Because the plane would be so insanely heavy it probably wouldn't get above 60 mph going down the run way, that is if they can eve make landing gear that would hold something like that

Answer 10

Far too heavy.

Answer 11

The 'black box stuff' isn't anything special at all. Because the black box is relatively small, they just reinforced it so that it can withstand crashes. E.g. it can withstand water pressure up to ?? metres under the sea, penetration from steel spike from ?? feet, etc.

An aircraft, on the other hand has to be made to fly. It has to be structurally sound to carry passengers and withstand pressure (if it is a pessenger liner); at the same time, it has to be able to FLY. Therefore, if it is overly reinforced, it will not be able to get off the ground.

Answer 12

i think the material the black box is made of

would be way too heavy for a plane to be

manufactured from it.

I'm certain i heard that somewhere.
