The requirements regarding the ability of flight recorders to survive an aviation disaster, as specified in successive normative documents, are presented. Currently, “black boxes” installed on aircraft even several decades ago are still in operation. These devices are still airworthy, however, their resistance (to dynamic and static forces and intense heat exchange during a fire) is usually slightly lower than that of modern structures. The possibility of using composite ablative materials for protective capsules with higher performance parameters (thermal and mechanical) is presented. The production of a hybrid epoxy laminate with fiber reinforcement made of carbonized fabrics and synthetic organic fibers (Kevlar) with an MMT nanofiller has been proposed.The first flight data recorder was constructed by aviation pioneers, the Orville and Wilbur Wright brothers. It allowed for the recording of flight speed and propeller rotational speed. (…)
