Aircraft engine controls that maximize throttle-to-thrust- with dependability

Specializing in electronic engine controllers that optimize engines for ultimate throttle-to-thrust performance, BAE Systems is a world leader in full authority digital engine control (FADEC) design, development, production, and support.

What makes BAE Systems the most trusted resource worldwide for high demand, flight-critical aircraft engine controls, aircraft electrification, and aircraft power management systems? We are unmatched in development and thru-life support of advanced, high reliability electronic engine controllers (EEC) that have been proven to perform in even the harshest environments for both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.

With over 30 years of experience designing and certifying FADEC for commercial, business, cargo, and military aircraft across an installed base of more than 30,000 engines and over 1 billion flight hours, no one delivers on digital engine controls, monitoring, and aircraft power management more comprehensively than BAE Systems. From advanced digital control designs that optimize performance on the ground and in the air, protected by multiple redundancy safeguards, to global MRO support that can contain costs and extend product life by years, we have a proven record of peerless products, integrated systems, and on-time delivery that carriers and our prime manufacturer partners know they can count on.
