firstly that $10 billion covers many more cost items than just the software needed to fly the 777.
And going by recent events (i.e. 737 MCAS) it would appear Boeing is not that great at creating reliable software.
- chadcmulligan 7y agoYes software is seldom broken out - the space shuttle software spent $200 million, with an original estimate of $20 Million according to https://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch4-5.html https://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch4-5.html. I guess thats in 1970-1980 dollars
