If a picture paints a thousand words, why don't flight data recorders (FDRs) include video? If DM Aerospace (Hall 3/B1) has its way, they will.

The company announced today that it is developing the world's first Aircraft Data Recorder, incorporating the FDR, the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and an aircraft digital video recorder in a single unit.

This new unit, a prototype of which is on display, allows the air accident investigator, to view images from both internal and external cameras to be viewed after an accident.
