It may be true that AIX is part of a real-time system.

When it first came out for the PC/RT, AIX was just one of the processes
run by a small real-time kernel.  Others included device drivers.
There were hooks for real-time scheduling.

So the UN*X end of it is descended from SysV, but there may be more to
it than that.
