Electronic Engine Controls (EEC)
Aero Engine Controls has been providing EEC solutions for over 40 years. We were one of the pioneers of digital electronic controls, developing the world's first digital control with "full authority" which entered service on the Rolls-Royce RB211-524G engine powering the Boeing 747 and 767.
Today, our EEC capabilities carry forward our enormous experience. We complement our expertise with state-of-the-art technologies developed specifically for high reliability, dependability and affordability, in particular our MODUlinxTM architecture and GR5 processor. The benefits of this approach include:
- Common circuit blocks
- Simplicity of construction
- Design for new manufacturing techniques
- Secure, high-quality supply chain
Putting all of these elements together, our new control system philosophy is designed to provide quality, reliability and availability for every customer programme.
