That's funny. I worked for four years at a GE Aviation subcontractor on their jet engine control software, so I think do I have a clue about how flight control software systems work. At GE there was no encapsulation in sight on any system I worked on. In fact, our engine simulation was a special-purpose object-oriented language with--get this--no private variables. Some other systems I worked on didn't even use scoping, let alone encapsulation. Looks like my anecdote cancels out yours! Got any more?
