Developing replacement control systems 2010- 20?? is probably achievable, interfacing with existing and achieving certification within the near future cannot possibly be a realistic objective ....? Too many variables, known and unknown.
Not really sure of your point here Mike. This really is all what avionics development is all about; this sort of stuff is done all the time in aviation. I was merely pointing out the difficulties with the first generation digital technology found in Concorde (ie. the problems associated with obsolecence of components).
