These planes run over $50 million each, and even a misprogrammed galley oven could potentially bring down a plane in flight. Given that, would you be happy that they outsourced any engineering in this way?

Given, how many admin tools are built for simple SaaS apps, a project such as a new airplane will have a ton of tools that are built purely for the development cycle, most of them running offline or in the lab.
