Lopresti aircraft manufacturer announced that
Apple iPod could be used as a flight data recorder (FDR) in its Fury Piston aircraft. The company says it plans the "full integration of the iPod into the Fury's avionics systems". iPod can act (with suitable software) as a hard disk, so it could easily become a "black box" in airplanes. According to the company: "The iPod becomes the first truly portable, personal flight recorder with a huge recording capacity. This is a watershed technology for aviation, and we are delighted to be the first to bring it to market." The Fury will prove the concept, but once certificated, the iPod FDR could be deployed on other light aircraft. iPod will work with a specific dock connector so it could act also as an audio recorder. iPod has a very simple and easy-to-use interface, is small and needs low power to work, which makes it a perfect solution for aviation systems.
