    AFDX was developed by Airbus Industries for the A380, [3] [4] initially to address real-time issues for flight-by-wire system development. [5] Multiple switches can be bridged together in a cascaded star topology. This type of network can significantly reduce wire runs, thus the weight of the aircraft.
