'''Black Box''' is the common name used for an [[airplane]]’s Flight Data Recorder.  

'''Black Box''' is the common name used for an [[airplane]]’s Digital Flight Data Recorder (DVDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) installed as one unit.  

The Flight Data Recorder was invented by an [[Australia]]n named Dr. David Warren. The original model was red, although these days they are usually orange to make them easier to find. A [[journalist]] at the launch described it as a “wonderful black box” to make the point that how it worked was complex and one didn’t really need to know, but that it worked was the important thing.<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/ra/innovations/stories/s1076167.htm</ref>
