Reply to comment by 747ER in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
I believe that the flight data and voice recorders loop after a set time, perhaps 30 minutes.
The proposed system would also only store for 30 minutes, unless there was a loss of signal. Resumption of signal, would send buffered plane data, and reset the timer.
