A350 first in line for deployable flight recorder
Airbus is entering a partnership to develop a deployable flight recorder which will be initially introduced on the A350 from 2019. The automatic deployable flight recorder will be a combined voice and data device, and is being developed in co-operation with L3 Technologies and Leonardo's DRS Technologies Canada arm. It will be aimed primarily at transoceanic aircraft – the long-haul A350, A380 and A330 as well as the long-range A321LR. The lightweight device will not need to directly capture information but instead will receive and store, in a memory module, an onward transmission of cockpit-voice and flight data. It will be mounted in the vertical fin of the A350, close to the fuselage. A housing case with a spring mechanism will be installed inside the fin structure. <br/>
