I have an engineer friend who is a long-time employee of Honeywell
Flight Systems who claims that the Boeing 787 does not use Ada ("It's
an old language"). My friend, as i recall, manages a project involving
the airplane's entertainment system which he says uses C and C++ and
not Ada. I don't doubt that his subsystem uses C but a bit of web
research seems to indicate that the flight systems use Ada. Who is
right--the web or my friend who works on the airplane?
