I was wondring if anyone knows what is the operating system used in commercial airplanes (say Boeing or Airbus).
Also, what is the (preferred) real-time programing language? I heard that Ada is used in Boeing, so my question is - why Ada? what are the criteria the Boeing-guys had to choose this language? (I guess Java wouldn't be a great choice if the exactly in lift off the garbage collector wakes up).
Thanks!
