A Flight Computer is a specialized Ship's Computer optimized for aircraft, Spaceplanes, spacecraft, system craft, and other for high speed atmospheric and sub-orbital craft. Not all aircraft are required to have flight computers but some larger aircraft install flight computers to assist with sensor processing and weapons control. At higher TLs flight computers are a given on almost any vehicles capable of leaving the surface including the majority of gravcraft.
