The black box found in an airplane is actually orange, not black, to make it easier to locate after an accident. The black box is composed of two main components: the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The CVR captures audio from the cockpit, including conversations among crew members and sounds related to the aircraft's operation. The FDR records various flight parameters, such as altitude, speed, and heading, providing crucial data for investigating incidents. These devices are built to withstand extreme conditions, ensuring valuable information is preserved to improve aviation safety and prevent future accidents.
