I'm going to guess the last successful airliner without a computer was
the Boeing 737 original version. And the largest sucessful airliner without a computer was the Boeing 747 original. And I believe the last successful large bomber without a computer was the B-47. Can anyone confirm or refute this? In particular, no internet source says if the engine controllers were mechanical or computer. Definitions: There can be no necessary computer at all. Not in the engine controller nor in the flight controls. If there is a computer, the plane should be useable with that computer turned off. A computer is an electronic machine with a CPU, RAM, and software. Mechanical computing devices do not count for this exorcise (though they are interesting). -Curious -Kitplane01 |
