Minos is a real time kernel written entirely in Oberon for the Onbass (On Board (flight) Active Safety System):

The Oberon-related HeliOS is actually spelt HelyOS. It was developed as part of the ETH Model Helicopter Flight Control System. Links to the related documents are listed in a message on this mailing list last year: "Model Helicopter reports":

One with information about HelyOS is:

"A computer system for model helicopter flight control, Technical memo Nr. 3: the software core", Marco A. A. Sanvido, April 1999, 317.
