Black Box Re-order: technology, air safety and Australian airspace, 1938–68

该项目计划追踪1968年澳大利亚最后一次重大客机坠毁前30年航空安全的关键发展。现代澳大利亚拥有令人钦佩的航空安全记录，塑造了商业，休闲和国防的国家模式。该项目旨在促进对我们对全球航空安全的贡献的理解。通过历史研究，它旨在帮助我们了解关键的人类，技术和环境因素如何改变当地和国际对空域的看法，以及管理我们的航空公司的复杂系统如何发展到如此有效地发挥作用。它还承诺对澳大利亚人如何依赖技术黑匣子和大规模基础设施进行新的理解。

This project plans to trace pivotal developments in air safety through the three decades preceding Australia’s last major airliner crash in 1968. Modern Australia has an admirable aviation safety record, shaping national patterns of commerce, leisure and defence. This project aims to advance understanding of our contributions to global aviation safety. Through historical research, it seeks to help us understand how key human, technological and environmental factors changed local and international ideas about airspace, and how the complex systems governing our airways grew to function so effectively. It also promises new understanding of how Australians came to rely upon technological black boxes and large-scale infrastructure.
