Mar 28, 2022

On March 21, it was a disaster for more than 100 families. China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735 crashed, and the whereabouts of 132 people on the plane are still unknown.

During the flight, the plane crashed 8,000 meters in just 3 minutes, which is appalling. Even in previous air crashes, such a crash is extremely rare, and the probability of occurrence is very small. What was the reason for such a sudden fall and eventual tragedy? At present, no one can give an answer, all hope is pinned on the black box of the aircraft.

It is said to be a black box, but the flight data recorder is not black, nor the shape of the box, but an orange device. This color is more eye-catching in the wild, and its surface is also covered with reflective strips, which makes it relatively easy to spot whether it is during the day or at night. Some people think that the recorded information of this device cannot be tampered with or tampered with, just like a mysterious cassette, hence the nickname.

Today's black boxes are also more resistant to impact. Generally, they can withstand 30 minutes of barbecue in a flame of 1100 ° C; can withstand 2 tons of objects to be squeezed for 5 minutes; can be used in gasoline, olein, batteries, acid, seawater Soak for several months without liquid. In case of falling into the water, the black box can also send a radio for people to look for.

Experts pointed out that after finding the black box, professional personnel will decode the data in it, and these people are not from inside the airline, but by the Aviation Safety Office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China for authoritative and objective analysis. The decoding process is relatively fast, and it only takes ten minutes at the fastest. Whether it is the cause of the aircraft itself or the accident caused by improper human operation, the data in the black box can give clues.
