.cndot. An aircraft black box comprises a recorder
assembly and at least one airbag assembly
mounted on the side of the recorder assembly.
The recorder assembly comprises a memory unit,
and a power unit. The airbag assembly comprises
an inflatable airbag, means for inflating the
inflatable airbag when an actuation signal is
received, and a sensor detecting an impact and
transmitting an actuation signal to the means
for inflating the inflatable airbag. The
inflatable airbag upon impact rapidly inflates
around the recorder assembly in order to absorb
the energy of the crash and also to provide
buoyancy when the black box is submerged in
water. This invention relates to aircraft black
boxes, and the principal use of the invention
is for protecting aircraft black boxes in case
of a crash.
