The Air France Flight 447's black box is the name given to the flight recorders, which contain vital information about the aircraft. This information includes all technical readings regarding the aircraft (time of day, air pressure, the plane's speed and altitude, how much fuel is there, whether fuel is flowing properly, position of rudders and flight stabilizers which are checked eight times a second) and even recording of audio inside the cockpit which picks up all conversation and also tiny sounds like that of switches.


This black box is actually an orange cylinder which has the vital memory chips cased within several layers of aluminum, insulation and stainless steel. In simple words the Air France Flight's Black Box holds the key to why the plane crashed.
