BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A complete understanding of the present invention may be obtained by reference to

the accompanying drawings, when considered in conjunction with the subsequent, detailed

description, in which:

Figure 1 is an exploded conceptual view of the wireless dual black box recorder system

configuration illustrating the basic parts of the system and its intrinsic ability to connect to

interstellar satellite networks for flight data collection, data redundancy and the remote data

center (25) which is used to store a copy of black box data which is subsequently made

available to first responders in the event of an emergency or crash;

Figure 2 is an exploded conceptual view of the invention when the internet (13) is used

as a communication medium between the quick access recorder and remote data centers for

keeping an "extra copy" of the black box data accessible by Internet Protocol (ip) addressing

techniques;

Figure 3 is a conceptual view of the invention when only a single wireless ejectable

flight data recorder is used in the configuration whereby the ejection sensor system shown in

the diagram senses the pending crash and causes the flight data recorder to deploy within

milliseconds prior to crash, thereby 'flying away' and reducing the shock that could potentially

reach the recorder;

Figure 4 is a conceptual and logical view of the data collector processor which is a

software module which is responsible for streaming, data compaction for reducing bandwidth

transfers to remote backup locations, and data encryption which keeps the flight data secure

while in transmission to remote locations;

Figure 5 is a conceptual view of a wireless satellite network interface (22) and built

antenna which is used by the quick access recorder to access the satellite network for

interstellar data communication between black boxes and remote data center (25);
