Notwithstanding VnV2178B's feelings, there are very real advantages to a FADEC in terms of safety, failure modes and power ratings.
With a digital control, the acceleration can be tailored to the exact conditions and health of the engine, allowing optimum response without fear of stall. For combat damaged engines, we even detect the beginnings of stall and retrim the acceleration to guide the engine past the stall point with no surges.
The limits can also be tailored to the conditions, so that full throttle applications can be made, and the state of the remaining engines can determine the limits to be automatically obeyed.
It is a pity that software engineers have to work to keep up with the customer's demands. Does this mean that at last we have found someone on the engine side of the game who answers the phone to the user's needs?
