SQLite runs critical systems on the A350 in flight.

Stability is vastly more important than new functionality in that context.

Can you document that? I was under the impression that they used SQLite for on ground simulations?


Since the DO-178B certification was obtained by SQLite, it may be used in critical avionics components.

Rockwell-Collins is the organization that prompted Dr. Hipp to obtain DO-178B. I actually worked at Rockwell-Collins in the early 90s.

I do generally prefer airlines flying Airbus, BTW.

"Airbus confirms that SQLite is being used in the flight software for the A350 XWB family of aircraft."
