                   The avionics compartment on an Airbus 350
                                        
It makes sense that there would be a number of computers on a modern airplane
to handle the avionics, but I was still surprised at the size of the avionics
compartment on an Airbus 350 [1]—it's like a mini-datacenter below the
cockpit! There appears to be quite a bit of computing power on that airplane.
I wonder if part of that is involved with any on-board entertainment systems?
