Avionics (big catch all for instruments & navigation), flight control
software, engine control software (rockets & jets), GPS satellites, GPS/INS
systems are things I personally know about. I heard reports that some Swiss
bankers use it. The complete list and possibilities is quite large. There
have not been a lot of high volume general purpose desktop applications
(word processors and spreadsheets) written in Ada. Think about where
software bugs are tolerated and where they are not.
Ada in general is very well suited for programming in the large with a
team of software engineers.
