Flight Data Recorder (FDR):

It is a device that saves the recent history of the flight by the recording of dozens of limitations collected several times per second.

Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR):

It is a device which preserves the current history of the sounds in the cockpit including the conversations between the pilots. The two recorders give accurate evidence, narrating the aircraft's flight history for help in any later investigation.

The FDR and CVR may be combined in a single unit.

Due to this reason, they are typically specified to withstand a consequence of 3400 g and temperatures of over 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) as required by EUROCAE ED-112 and have been essential in commercial aircraft in the US since 1967.
