The Black Box
On May 26, 1995, the National Transportation Safety
Board added a new regulation to existing safeguards.
The decree stated that planes built before October 1,
1969, must start tracking six new kinds of information in
addition to the five already being logged. New data
included longitudinal acceleration, nose pitch, and engine
thrust. Newer planes have about 30 parameters recorded
in the famous black boxes that are recoverable after a
crash. Imagine Wilbur and Orville Wright, pondering
what black boxes now reveal. They would remember
Lawrence Hargrave (1850-1915), inventor of the box kite
that led to their first powered
airplane But there’s been a
whole lot of invention between
m 0 QrO the box kite and the black box.
We Jon t know a millionth of one percent
ahout anything.
