Very interesting document about software complexity:
NASA Study on Flight Software Complexity
"Flight software is a kind of embedded real-time software, a field that has seen exponential growth since its inception. In some areas of NASA, flight software is growing by a factor of ten every ten years. Estimates for Orion’s primary flight software exceed one million lines of code."
...
"The newest fighter still under development, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, will, according to one source, have 5.7 M lines of code."
(From Grady Booch's blog)
