"These recorders" deployable "would separate the tail of the aircraft during the break-up go to float on the sea surface by emitting a distress signal." We are working, "said Tuesday the vice- Airbus President for engineering.
The plane crash airline EgyptAir, the recorders have still not been found, advocates of "black boxes" that can be ejected before an accident, said Charles Champion, Airbus Vice President for engineering. Of deployable recorders (or "deployable") would separate the tail of the aircraft during the break-up go to float on the sea surface by emitting a distress signal.
The search for the flight recorders of the Airbus A320 that crashed Egyptair in the Mediterranean on May 19 with 66 people on board are made into waters whose depth can reach 3,000 meters. The "black boxes" are designed to emit acoustic signals for 30 days after a disaster. Research teams are now less than three weeks locate. "If we have a deployable recorder (ejection), it will be much easier to find," said Charles Champion during a meeting with the press. "We are working on it."
Recommended by investigators after the crash of an Air France A330 in 2009, the idea has resurfaced after the disappearance of flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines in March 2014. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) asked that a key flight data is recoverable "in good time" on the aircraft delivered after 2021. But how to achieve this objective will be left to the choice of airlines and aircraft manufacturers, who will use deployable recorders or other technical means.
The deployable recorders have long been used in the military. But some expressed doubts about their use in civil aircraft, arguing that they could deploy accidentally and provide a new source of risk. "
