Abstract
Modular avionics are in the process of supplanting traditional LRU (line replaceable unit) based avionics on new military aircraft and will see initial applications on commercial transport aircraft in the mid to late 1990s. The author discusses the major considerations which must be addressed for modular avionics on commercial transport aircraft as well as the needs of commercial versus military modular avionics systems. Douglas Aircraft Company´s work in commercial modular avionics is summarized and some thoughts on architectures and implementation are provided
