[quote][i]Originally posted by Rob_Quads[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] I read an article yesterday (can't remember the site) saying that even transmitting the 'black box' data in real time via satellites would cost billions a year for each airline. They said that as this sort of event is so infrequent that the money is better spent elsewhere. [/quote] This is where they need to be clever. You don't need to transmit the blackbox - Thats got way more than you need. You don't need to recreate the whole incident in real time. you just need the accurate location in realtime which them means its much much easier to get hold of the blackbox which you can do the post analysis on. Transmitting that sort of data would still be a few 100's of millions but when you think loosing that plane will probably cost them 400+ million in 1 incident. [/quote]
