Do safety-critical systems have memory burned as ROM, instead of having dynamic memory allocation? From my point of view, the plane doesn't really change, so the avionics suite shouldn't require changing either. You build a physics model of the plane, translate it into memory, then bake it in, and dynamic allocation is only needed for when you need inputs. Or is this dangerous because the physics model does change significantly for different loadouts?

I'm not an aerospace or embedded engineer.
