Why not a combined FDR/CVR?
With the CVR from JT610 still not found, I've been wondering -- given our ability to store vast amounts of data in small volumes, why not combine the CVR and FDR recordings in a single unit? Then, instead of having one CVR and one FDR, we could have two combined CVR/FDRs. If we only find one, we still have all the data. Put one near the nose and one near the tail, and the chances that at least one will be found and/or be usable increase.
