David Warren dies at 85

Wednesday, July 21. 2010

David Warren died on July 19, 2010 that the age of 85. Why should you care? Well ... this guy created the flight data recoder, better known as "black box". This invention made aviation saver as post-crash analysis is easier with some additional data about the aircraft in the minutes before the crash, thus enabling the investigators to make better suggestions for the future.

We all owe this guy! He's undoubtedly saved countless lives, and a lot of money. Aircraft are expensive to replace and the FDR's are also used for engineering purposes.

The original recorded to metal foil with wires, they have always recorded the whole flight, and usually some prior ones. The voice recorder is a record of the last 30 min before power loss.
