Railroads/Positive Train Control, emergency call centers, etc. QNX is used all over the place. If you want an even more impressive Microkernel RTOS, then Green Hills INTEGRITY is a great example. It's the RTOS behind the B-2, F-{16,22,35}, Boeing 787, Airbus A380, Sikorsky S-92, etc.

"Even more impressive" in what way? I haven't used INTEGRITY but used the Green Hills compiler and debugger extensively for years and they're easily the most buggy development tools I've ever had the misfortune to use. To me the "impressive" thing is their ability to lock safety critical software developers into using this garbage.
