Fadec Alliance, a joint venture between GE and Fadec International, has broadened its agreement with GE Aviation (www.geaviation.com) 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.

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.

Chuck Jackson, GE9X program manager at GE, said: “Working with Fadec Alliance, we will improve engine performance and cost efficiency, incorporating new and innovative engine technologies.

“The benefits of combining the proven capabilities of Fadec International and GE are significant.”

Currently, Fadec Alliance also has engine controls on the A320NEO, 737 MAX, COMAC C919, Bombardier Global Jet 7000/8000, 777X, and Cessna Denali aircrafts.
