Abstract
Data captured by flight data recorders are generally stored on the system’s embedded hard disk. A common problem is the lack of storage space on the disk. This lack of space for data storage leads to either a constant effort to reduce the space used by data, or to increased costs due to acquisition of additional space, which is not always possible. File compression can solve the problem, but carries with it the potential drawback of the increased overhead required when writing the data to the disk, putting an excessive load on the system and degrading system performance. The author suggests the use of an efficient compressed file system that both compresses data in real time and ensures that there will be minimal impact on the performance of other tasks.
