      Black box....

      If the "black box" survives every plane crash, why not make the entire plane out of that stuff?
      Because if they did the plane would survive every crash..

      Nope. The plane stays completely intact, yet everyone inside gets squished up against it.

      The material that the black box is made of is too heavy. A whole plane made of the same material (All stainless steel), would have a hard time getting off the ground and would be ridiculously expensive.

      Unlike the rest of the aircraft, which is mostly made of light materials such as aluminum and plastic, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder are encased in stainless steel boxes roughly 10 inches by 10 inches by 5. The steel is maybe a quarter inch thick and the boxes are so heavy in consequence that the designers don't even bother enclosing the accompanying electronics, which in a crash generally meet the same fate as the passengers. As an added precaution, the boxes are lined with a liquid-filled foam bladder encased in plastic that's supposed to protect against the intense heat of a post-crash fire.
