Deployable Black Box Should Be Easier To Locate
Airbus is proposing a new automatic deployable flight data recorder that would be easier to find after an accident.

Airbus said last week that it is developing new automatic deployable (ejectable) flight recorders, which it suggests could be fitted from in 2019 on new airliners. Having introduced the project at the company's Safety Day last Thursday, it indicated that it may hold a further briefing–and possibly even launch development–at the Paris Air Show, which starts on Monday.
