@JdeBP @cstross @timo21 Hmm, serious stuff (Atari background is a wee bit worrying!). Question is, could it be ported to an F-35? 🙂 - scrub this -
It’s been produced specifically for F35s.

Press release says …

https://lynx.com/lynx-mosaic-selected-for-f35-lightning-ii-mission-systems-avionics

… yes. So: maybe.

It used to be an operating system named Integrity by Green Hills Software. That has its own Wikipedia article, too.

@alex_p_roe @timo21 I hate to break it to you, but the OS inside a fighter jet's gubbins probably isn't anything consumer-visible: it'll be some exotic micro-kernel RTOS written for high reliability and security that none of us have ever heard of.

Or it could be buzzword-compliant, be industry group certified, be originally developed for the Atari ST, have its own Wikipedia article, and run on (among other things) PowerPC. (-:
