Abstract :
This paper will look at the reuse evolution of the Honeywell Flight Management System software (FMS) from the Boeing 757/767 and Airbus A310 development of the 1980´s to the advanced designs of the Airbus A340 and Boeing 777 of the 1990´s. This paper will explore the lessons learned and the future challenges for the development, modification and maintenance of software in a reusable environment
