Foreword The invention of the ‘black box’ flight data recorder is one of the many innovations that Australians have made in the area of aviation. But our world-renowned expertise goes well beyond aviation safety to encompass all areas of airport infrastructure and aerospace technology. Australia’s strengths in design, research and development, master planning, engineering, construction and IT have been successfully used to build airports and associated urban developments in Australia and globally. Australian noise and environmental monitoring systems have been incorporated in most of world’s major airports and cities including in London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Dubai. In addition, technology from an Australian firm is used in managing approximately 80 per cent of the world’s oceanic airspace. Australian businesses also offer cutting-edge baggage handling and lighting systems, perimeter and landside security systems, and airport construction and project management technologies and services.
