Introduction
In science and engineering, a black box is a device, system or object which can be
viewed solely in terms of its input, output and transfer characteristics without any
knowledge of its internal workings, that is, its implementation is "opaque" (black).
Almost anything might be referred to as a black box: a transistor, an algorithm, or
the human mind.
The opposite of a black box is a system where the inner components or logic are
available for inspection, which is sometimes known as a white box, a glass box, or
a clear box.
History
1960, after the crash of an aircraft at Mackay (Queensland), the inquiry judge
strongly recommended that flight recorders be installed in all airliners. Australia
then became the first country in the world to make cockpit-voice recording
compulsory.
Design
The design of today's FDR is governed by the internationally recognized standards
and recommended practices relating to flight recorders which are contained in
ICAO Annex 6 which makes reference to industry crashworthiness and fire
protection specifications such as those to be found in the European Organisation
for Civil Aviation Equipment documents EUROCAE ED55, ED56 fiken A and
ED112 (Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Crash Protected
Airborne Recorder Systems). In the United States, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulates all aspects of U.S. aviation, and cites design
requirements in their Technical Standard Order based on the EUROCAE
documents
After the crash of Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907, Brazilian Air
Force personnel recover the flight data recorder of PR-GTD, the
Boeing 737-8EH used for the flight, in the Amazon Rainforest in
Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Modern day FDRs receive inputs via specific data frames from the
FDAU units. They record significant flight parameters, including
the control and actuator positions, engine information and time of
day. There are 88 parameters required as a minimum under
current U.S. federal regulations (only 29 were required until
2002), but some systems monitor many more variables. Generally
each parameter is recorded a few times per second, though some
units store "bursts" of data at a much higher frequency if the data
begins to change quickly. Most FDRs record approximately 17–25
hours worth of data in a continuous loop. It is required by
regulations, that an FDR verification check (readout) is performed
annually, in order to verify that all mandatory parameters are
recorded.
This has also given rise to flight data monitoring programs, whereby flights are
analyzed for optimum fuel consumption and dangerous flight crew habits. The data
from the FDR is transferred, in situ, to a solid state recording device and then
periodically analyzed with some of the same technology used for accident
investigations. FDRs are usually located in the rear of the aircraft, typically in the
tail.
There are two main recorder inside the black box which are as

FDR-A flight data recorder (FDR) (also ADR, for accident data
recorder) is an electronic device employed to record any instructions sent to
any between electronic systems on an aircraft. It is a device used to record
specific aircraft performance parameters. Another kind of flight recorder is
the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), which records conversation in the cockpit,
radio communications between the cockpit crew and others (including
conversation with air traffic control personnel), as well as ambient sounds.
In some cases, both functions have been combined into a single unit. The
current applicable FAA TSO is C124b titled Flight Data Recorder Systems.
Popularly referred to as a "black box", the data recorded by the FDR is used for
accident investigation, as well as for analyzing air safety issues, material
degradation and engine performance. Due to their importance in investigating
accidents, these ICAO-regulated devices are carefully engineered and stoutly
constructed to withstand the force of a high speed impact and the heat of an intense
fire. Contrary to the "black box" reference, the exterior of the FDR is coated with
heat-resistant bright Red paint for high visibility in wreckage, and the unit is
usually mounted in the aircraft's empennage (tail section), where it is more likely
to survive a severe crash. Following an accident, the recovery of the FDR is
usually a high priority for the investigating body, as analysis of the recorded
parameters can often detect and identify causes or contributing fac
Cockpit voice recorder-A cockpit voice recorder (CVR), often referred to as a
"black box",[1] is a flight recorder used to record the audio environment in the
flight deck of an aircraft for the purpose of investigation of accidents and incidents.
This is typically achieved by recording the signals of the microphones and
earphones of the pilots headsets and of an area microphone in the roof of the
cockpit. The current applicable FAA TSO is C123b titled Cockpit Voice Recorder
Equipment.[2]

History
The CVR was developed in the 1950s chiefly in Australia. In 1960, following an
aircraft crash in Queensland, the inquiry judge strongly recommended that flight
recorders be installed in all airliners. Australia became the first country in the
world to make cockpit-voice recording compuls
In philosophy and science black box theories have been proposed for various
fields by various philosophers and scientists. Such a prominent theory is the so
called "black box theory of consciousness", which states that the mind is fully
understood once the inputs and outputs are well defined, and generally couples this
with a radical skepticism regarding the possibility of ever successfully describing
the underlying structure, mechanism, and dynamics of the mind.
Example
If we had a black box that we could not open, could not just "look inside" to see
how it worked, all we could do is guess how it worked based on what happens
when we do something to it (an input) and what occurs as a result of that (an
output). If we put an orange in on one side, and an orange falls out the other. We
can make educated guesses on what is happening inside the black box. It could be
filled with oranges, it could have a conveyor belt to move the orange from one side
to the other, it could even go through an alternate universe for all we know. All we
can do is guess.
Every now and again something strange will occur that changes our understanding
of the black box. Like if we put an orange in and a guava popped out. Suddenly our
"filled with oranges" and "conveyor belt" theories no longer work and we have to
change our "educated guess" as to how the black box works.
The black box theory is a fairly popular method to describe what psychology is
like. We cannot open the mind and simply "peek" inside, we can only do
something to the mind
