Usage notes
'an Black Box
de Blackbox refers especially to the protective box, while de Flugschreiber refers especially to the recorders inside of it. Hence, de die Blackbox bergen to recover the black box, but de den Flugschreiber auswerten to analyse the flight recorder. Nevertheless, both terms are also used interchangeably.
While the simplex de Box has only the Germanised plural de Boxen, the compound de Blackbox also uses the English plural in -es.
