think about it the backbone of our airlines were designed in the 60's and 70's with the 737 designed in 1965 the 747 designed in 1963, the 767 designed in 1970, the 777 was designed in 1988 basicly our airfleet was all designed before the windows pc. thats why there arent Pc's in there 
I dont think people realize how old the fleet of jets are in the united states, the good news is boeing got certified for its boeing 787 dreamliner wich after many delays and 6 years behind on its 827 orders will be starting delivery in japan this month and looks to replace both the aging 747 and 767 fleets |
I realize they're old, but it doesn't take rocket science to retrofit a small PC.
