How to Make a Module For Dummies

[Mars Exulte]

I had a notion, in the comment I just made, to get a look at the ''behind the scenes of module dev''. It doesn't have to be a docudrama, but just a very generic ''example''. People talk about the amount of work that goes into it in general terms, but we really have only the barest idea based on ''A-10C took five years'' or ''$250,000 for a module'' or some such. At least I've not seen anything more specific in my years here.

 

I would like a ''highlights'' data breakdown, like :

 

The MiG-29 PFM took (numbers out of my ass for illustration only)

54,825 man hours

62 people

132 documents

4,612,450 lines of code

2 ridealongs

75 hours of audio recording

9 months to completion

Etc etc etc

 

The information is extremely generic, but informative about the amount of work that goes in, personally it would be really fascinating. Doesn't have to be about any specific plane or for every plane just something to be a reference point.

+1 I quite like this idea, might give people a better insight into how a module actually gets developed.
