eli5 Why can’t black boxes in Aeroplanes update data to a cloud throughout a flight or after a crash has occured? why do we need to find the physical box?
In: 846
Black boxes are designed to protect the data of an aircraft in the very worst of conditions and possibilities.
If the data was unable to be transmitted to the cloud for say, atmospheric reasons, then we would not be able to fully understand why the aircraft crashed without the additional technical data and cockpit recordings.
