The global aircraft engine control unit market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Rolls Royce has created a new engine control capability near the campus of Purdue University , including the F130 engine competing for the U.S. Air Force B-52 program. Rolls-Royce will assemble and test electronic engine controllers, which help manage in-flight engine operations. The first controller completed at Rolls-Royce in the Purdue Research Foundation’s Discovery Park District adjacent to the Purdue University campus will be installed onto a Rolls-Royce AE 3007H engine, manufactured at the company’s facilities in Indianapolis. Electronic engine controllers are responsible for control of complicated gas turbine engines, monitoring and adjusting multiple factors such as air and fuel flow.
Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp, along with Pilatus and Honeywell, celebrated the launch of the new PC-12 NGX aircraft, powered by the new Pratt & Whitney PT6 E-Serie engine. It is the first turboprop engine in general aviation to offer a dual-channel integrated electronic propeller and engine control system, pushing innovation to a new level. The company is also enhancing its new Eagle Service Plan for the PT6 E-Serie engine.
The Sustainable Aircraft Engine Demonstration Program was developed by the FADEC Alliance and includes more electric technologies and components. The FADEC Alliance supports the maturation of new engine technologies as part of the advanced technology program in order to lower emissions and fuel usage.
Technologies that have developed as a result of the RISE demonstrator program will demonstrate the concepts and abilities required for a possible next-generation CFM engine that is intended to be made available. The demonstrator program is concentrated on cutting-edge technologies such as open fan design, hybrid electric capability, electrified engine accessories, and hydrogen propulsion.
Users are eager to collaborate with their industry partners on the CFM RISE program and support the introduction of cutting-edge technologies to raise the performance standard for future aircraft engines and develop a more environmentally friendly form of aviation.
Through two program phases, FADEC Alliance will create the demonstrator’s electronic control system architecture, requirements, and numerous subsystems. A larger control system will be the primary focus of phase one in order to handle new interfaces related to the open fan concept.
The advanced components of the engine’s second phase will be addressed in detail. A partnership between GE Aerospace and FADEC International is called the FADEC Alliance. In order to design, create, produce, and support FADEC systems, the FADEC Alliance pools the knowledge and experience of its member businesses.
The Enhanced Digital Electronic Engine Control Unit (EDECU) from Goodrich will be a low-cost option for the Sikorsky H-60 and Boeing AH-64 aircraft. The U.S. Army awarded Goodrich a contract for 55 EDECUs, with possibilities for an additional 230 units. Prior to that, Goodrich was awarded contracts for more than 600 extra units from the US Navy, US Coast Guard, and GE Aircraft Engines.
Overall, nearly 1,000 fixed and option EDECUs have been ordered and will soon be delivered. Future orders from American and foreign clients are anticipated. An improved built-in test and fault recording algorithm is present in the EDECU, which is a component of the “common control” used by the U.S. Army for the T700 engine, to help with evaluations of the engine’s efficiency and health.
The new EDECU will supplant the existing engine control units on the fleets of Apache, Black Hawk, Jayhawk, and Seahawk aircraft operated by the US Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. It will also be mounted on newly manufactured T700 engines.
The EDECU evolved from the Universal Control technology programs supported by the U.S. Army to create a single part number common control with the processing power to contain multiple application software packages, address electronics obsolescence issues, provide a workstation-like platform for improved engine health condition monitoring, and lower engine control system recurring and logistics costs.
