The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) market comprises devices installed in aircraft to continuously record critical flight parameters such as altitude, speed, heading, engine performance, and control inputs. Commonly known as part of the aircraft “black box,” FDRs play a vital role in aviation safety, accident investigation, regulatory compliance, and aircraft performance monitoring. The market is driven by increasing air traffic, strict aviation safety regulations, and the growing demand for enhanced flight monitoring systems in both commercial and military aviation sectors.
