Many of the early innovators in aviation were French or in France, and consequently, the French language has a lot of influence in aviation. The terms 'mayday' and 'pan-pan' both originate from French. Flight recorders around the world are labelled in English and French. If English were not the primary language for aviation, it would probably be French instead.
