Abstract
Summary form only given. General integration trends in avionics systems architecture are examined with reference to the Boeing Company´s fleet of aircraft. It is shown that for two of the key measures of system development difficulty, system size and complexity, the difficulty (time and labor) is increasing with no change currently in sight. This type of growth has a large impact on the way avionics systems development is engineered and managed. It is suggested that new engineering disciplines, computing tools, and training are needed to manage the design of these systems
