FADECU Design Enhancement

Enhancing FADECU Design

Our experts partnered with one of the largest aviation industry players in the UK to verify the design of a Full Authority Digital Engine Control Unit (FADECU). This critical system is essential for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of modern aircraft engines. During the engagement, our experts identified a significant design issue that required urgent resolution, leading to a collaborative effort with the client and their partner in Germany.

The initial FADECU design required verification to meet stringent performance, safety, and regulatory standards. However, during the engagement, a critical design flaw was uncovered that could compromise the system’s functionality and compliance. This necessitated an urgent redesign to address the flaw while adhering to strict project timelines and certification requirements.
