FADEC Alliance, a joint venture between GE and FADEC International, has broadened its agreement with GE Aviation to include collaboration on system architectures and technologies for future commercial engines.
Under the agreement, FADEC Alliance will develop, produce, and support full authority digital engine controls (FADEC) for future GE Aviation commercial engines, furthering the company’s position in the aviation market.
The agreement builds on FADEC Alliance’s current role as the electronic controls supplier for CFM International’s LEAP* engine, as well as GE’s Passport, GE9X, and ATP engines. This expanded relationship leverages both GE’s experience in engine technology and FADEC International’s experience in designing FADEC systems. FADEC International is a joint venture between BAE Systems Controls and Safran.
