I recall reading that the signalling system on the Channel Tunnel
Eurostar passenger trains between England and France  (and
quite possibly the recent French TGV trains) is written in Ada.
This is for obvious reasons of safety and system integrity. Ada
is also used in recent civilian aircraft, not just in air traffic
control. Perhaps someone from Airbus Industrie can comment.
