The airline industry is acting on lessons learned from the Malaysian MH370 disaster by working to improve access to the black box flight recorders which are vital to the investigation process. Chinese news agency Xinhua reports that among the innovations being tested are a floating black box, currently being developed by Europe’s Airbus; and a black box fitted with a parachute, which is an option being considered by Chinese firm Comac and its US subsidiary. Some of the technology being tested is already in use by the military but would need some adaption for commercial airlines.
