Why can’t we just make the whole plane out of black box material?
In: Engineering
The black box material isn’t really anything special, it’s just designed to be Hardy. If they made the whole plane like that it the plane might survive, but everyone on board would still die from fire or blunt trauma. Humans can’t survive sudden stops from high speeds.
In addition, the hardening of the plane would make it much heavier causing much more thrust to get off the ground.
Flying is still one of the safest ways to travel as is.
