Airplane Information Management System

The Airplane Information Management System (AIMS) is the "brains" of Boeing 777 aircraft. It uses four ARINC 629 buses to transfer information. There are 2 cabinets on each plane (left and right).{{cite web |url-status=dead

History

The Intel 80x86 processor was the first to be used for the system, in conjunction with a compiler and runtime system for the Ada programming language. Beginning in 1988 and continuing for a number of years, Honeywell Air Transport Systems worked together with consultants from DDC-I in collaboration to retarget and optimize the DDC-I Ada compiler to the AMD 29050 architecture for use in full scale development.{{cite book | chapter=The HADS Team | first=Karl | last=Rehmer
