Far evolved from the cables, pulleys, and hydraulic systems of the past, today’s cockpits are a high-density data environment where split-second decisions are carried out by complex electronic architectures. At the center of all computing systems is a motherboard, a type of printed circuit board (PCB) that is responsible for cohesively managing constant streams of data. This blog will take you through some of the traits a motherboard must possess to adequately perform its role in notoriously tricky flight environments, followed by a more pointed look at how it handles the influx of data from an aircraft’s flight control and navigation systems.
