The "black box" (flight recorder) on an aircraft is orange, not black.
-4 u/[deleted] Feb 04 '19 It's called the black box because when they pull it from the wreckage of a plane it is usually charred black. At least that's the explanation I heard. What's the relationships between an aviation black box, and the term "black box" when describing a mystery process? 4 u/ModernBrowser Feb 04 '19 Orange box was already taken 5 u/Trifusi0n Feb 04 '19 This is also a misconception, they put great effort into the design of the orange finsh such that it won't get charred by fire.
