This chapter examines the results of the integration of physical systems, functional aspects and functions associated with automation, and potentially autonomous unmanned operations. Integration can be characterised by the performance of many functions by a small number of units. System integration has been achieved by design and has been implemented by the application of readily available technologies by means of which functionality has been incorporated using a combination of: computing systems based on distributed computers. The work was carried out to examine the feasibility of introducing an integrated computing system for the control of the aircraft systems. It was essential to determine how complex the systems were to make sure that the proposed integrated solution was indeed feasible. Inputs to the system will be provided by the operators on board such as first pilot, second pilot, and cabin crew. There is the potential for system behaviours to arise that may affect flight safety.
