They house the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, instruments vital to airplane crash analyses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut accident investigators cannot rely on the black boxes alone. Beginning with the 1931 Fokker F-10A crash that killed legendary football coach Knute Rockne, this fascinating book provides a behind-the-scenes look at plane wreck investigations. Professor George Bibel shows how forensic experts, scientists, and engineers analyze factors like impact, debris, loading, fire patterns, metallurgy, fracture, crash testing, and human tolerances to determine why planes fall from the sky--and how the information gleaned from accident reconstruction is incorporated into aircraft design and operation to keep commercial aviation as safe as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Bibel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801886317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801886317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.42w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 93","brand":"George Bibel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072782889215,"sku":"9780801886317","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f88dce2d-06ed-4995-8f61-52f28740fbeb.jpg?v=1685443930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-black-box-george-bibel-9780801886317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
