flight data recorder insides

A vid showing the insides of the flight data recorder. I will admit that my voice could be a tad more enthusiastic sounding. The light could be brighter and I didn't really edit this due to my monitor being messed up but whatev. I imagine this thing would make a neat computer case if I gutted it or something. I'm tempted to durability test it too to see if it's really indestructable :P

mmm, something tells me you shouldn't have that. Hopefully you managed to obtain a black box from a discontinued aircraft and not one that actually went down.

That would be my guess as the guy I bought it from sells all sorts of old aircraft parts on ebay

id like to hack one of these into an external hard drive like see if i can use the original memory for storing files, and id like to hack a cockpit voice recorder into a regular voice recorder or something so you can play it back right on the device and not need to download the data maybe hack it into an mp3 player i dunno id find a use for these things, BTW did you ever figger out how to open the tape, the part you didnt know how to open

That would be sweet do do something like that. I havn't figured it out yet although I have not messed with it for a while.

bit of useless info:  a SSFDR for an Airbus A320 cost around £160'000.00, and an ECU is £256'000.00

facinating parts tbh :-)

If you can't sound enthusiastic, at least don't swear. Do you talk to your mother with that mouth? Idiot.

That was such an incredible machine!
