It’s a matter of degree. Are they supposed to run a chip fab to make all the chips that go into their plane? That said, fuselages do seem to be a core aspect

That said, fuselages do seem to be a core aspect of making planes!
- bluGill 3y agoGiven the chip shortages of the past few years maybe they should have. For that matter given how often perfectly good chips go obsolete maybe they should just so they don't have to spend $$$ redesigning a perfectly good circuit.
- drexlspivey 3y agoAMD and Apple don’t run chip fabs and Boeing will.. People in here will literally argue any point no matter how stupid
- bluGill 3y agoWhat others do is not relevant. Intel does run their own chip fabs. There are pros and cons. How they fall out can be different for different actors. Boeing can probably accept the compromise that they are forever locked on an older process that can't scale to 500mhz.
- x0x0 3y agoThat's not an apt comparison. Lots of people and companies use identical chips. Only boeing uses boeing airplane bodies.
- p_l 3y agoFunnily enough, one of the major avionics vendor (Honeywell), while they no longer own fabs, they do design their own CPUs for use in aircraft (a licensed version of AMD29050)
