Computer needs in MT craft design

The controls on a 727 are around a cubic meter... given that the panels have stuff 20cm thick in some places and 10 in the rest, and 3+ square meters of controls in the cockpit alone. Plus some in the galleys, and some in the cargo hatch area. That would be 10CPanels and at least a model 0.

Here we should discuss what do we understand as controls.

Are the flaps of this same 727 controls (after all their mission is to control the plane, or to help to)? Is the rudder controls?

I guess this alone may amount more than a cubic meter, and to this you must add the ones you said.

No, they are control surfaces. NOT, controls. But, only someone who had pilot training would know that. Perhaps...

controls are those things that allow a human to interface with a machine.

the movable externals are connected to the controls on mechanical control aircraft, but are not controls themselves.

As sure you've gessed, it's not my case
