Take a look at this device:
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2619037348.html
just scanned the article, but it would appear that here you have a
1) networked embedded processor with
2) small size appropriate for an aircraft instrument with
3) reasonably powerful processor with
4) a sensible display
5) low cost - ~$400 a unit.
Just write some software, network a couple of these together and you have a very powerful and redundant flight display and flight management system for an airplane. This is the sort of thing I have been wanting to see for a long time.
