I hope there's no chance that any element of this software is installed on the ECUs of Airbus civil types . .
Two points:

1. There is zero evidence that the fuel trim software being blamed for this accident resided in the ECU. Usually, fuel system management is handled at the aircraft system level, not at the engine level, so it would seem unlikely this function resided in the ECU.

2. Even if the fuel trim function resides in the ECU, the A400 uses an engine used by no other aircraft, civil or military. So it would seem extremely unlikely that other types of aircraft would be affected.
