Boeing is a sponsor of ROS-Industrial: http://rosindustrial.org/news/2015/8/... , and Airbus and GKN Aerospace are listed on http://rosindustrial.org/ric/current-... (it would be nice instead of an image full of logos there were clickable links to the different companies, and some of them are too small to read...).
It doesn't mean they are using ROS internally necessarily, but the interest is there.
I scanned through the ROSCon sponsors https://roscon.ros.org/2017/ (+1 for clickable logos) but didn't see anything.

Personally, I can only say "yes" (and not much more, as companies in that sector are typically not too open about what they do and don't use).
But I feel you'll get better answers than this if you clarify a bit more what you mean with "aerospace industry". It's rather broad.
You're probably not going to get much more than a "yes." Unless an aerospace company is doing open research, which is rare. You can check job postings from different companies and see if any of them require/desire knowledge of ROS.
You can see that NASA has (and maybe still is) used it:
Tecnalia with Airbus.
