The design, breadboard implementation, and functional
testing of a Crash Data Recorder for military aircraft is
reported. A microcomputer is used to analyze the flight
parameters, reduce redundant data, and record only significant
information to be used in post-crash analysis. Nonvolatile
solid state memory is used as the recording medium.
Functional tests indicate that the solid state recorder's
reliability is higher than that of mechanical magnetic tape
recorders while cost, weight, size, and required maintenance
are greatly reduced. The microcomputer provides an expansion capability for
future applications of the flight recorder. Research and
development, structural history, maintenance analysis, and
training are areas where the Crash Data Recorder can also serve
as an analytical tool.
Continued research in this subject is highly recommended.
