remotely written to the remote data center (25) or database, which can be maintained

anywhere in the world or interstellar airspace within the reach of the network. This data

center can be located in the ground away from the aircraft, and may be distributed in more

than one physical location for even more redundancy.

Figure 6 is a conceptual view of the deployable flight recorder (4) ejecting from the

aircraft when the aircraft crashes into the Atlantic ocean. the system is automatically

deployed by the ejection sensors (6) which may be comprised of one or more sensors, and

which signals the apparatus to eject away from the aircraft, thereby decreasing the shock

from the crash . Notably is the emergency locator transmitter (12) (ELT) which transmits a

beacon signal and allows the device to be located by emergency investigators.

Figure 7 is a conceptual view of the deployable flight recorder (4) floating on the

Atlantic ocean after the aircraft crashes. In the even of a crash, the flotation system (10)

allows the deployable flight data recorder to float to the surface, which is designed to make

it easer for the apparatus to be located, and save time and resources required to locate the

physical black boxes.

Figure 8 is a conceptual view of a solar powered system (11) floating on the ocean.

The batteries are charged by sunlight (35) and the solar panel or other suitable solar

material can be included in the design wherein this solar panel is used to extend the life of

the batteries in the flight data recorder above the normal thirty (30) days and would allow

the fdr systems to remain stay afloat and online for much longer periods provided the

apparatus is exposed to the sun light.

Figure 9 is a flow chart and logical view of the data collection processor (17) which is

shown in figure 1. As shown here the logical flow of the program should read the entire

contents of the quick access recorder (2) compacting data and encrypting data, to be later

transmitted via satellite link to the remote data location.
