From the article, kind of amazing:
- "The avionics system in the F-22 Raptor, the current U.S. Air Force frontline jet fighter, consists of about 1.7 million lines of software code."
- "The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, scheduled to become operational in 2010, will require about 5.7 million lines of code to operate its onboard systems."
- "And Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner, scheduled to be delivered to customers in 2010, requires about 6.5 million lines of software code to operate its avionics and onboard support systems."
- "These are impressive amounts of software, yet if you bought a premium-class automobile recently, 'it probably contains close to 100 million lines of software code'"
