The article suggests design principles of an advanced onboard computer network with an intelligent control system. It describes the main advantages of designing an onboard computer network based on fibre optics, which allows the implementation of an integrated intellectual system performing intelligent inference in emergency situations. The suggested principles significantly increase the reliability and fault tolerance of avionics suits, which, in turn, enhances flight safety. The suggested concept aims to solve a number of important problems including the design of a switchless computing environment, the development of the methods for dynamic reconfiguration of avionics suits with such an environment, and the implementation of a specialised multilevel intelligent avionics system within this environment.
