What is purpose and diffrence between FADEC and Electronic ENgine COntrol ?

AI Thread Summary
FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and EEC (Electronic Engine Control) are both critical systems in aircraft gas turbine engines, designed to manage engine performance and efficiency. FADEC offers full authority over engine operations, controlling all parameters such as fuel flow, ignition, and thrust, while EEC typically provides limited control and may rely on pilot input for certain functions. The main difference lies in the level of authority and automation, with FADEC being more advanced and fully automated. Both systems are essential for optimizing engine performance and ensuring safety during flight. Understanding these differences is crucial for aviation professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
