More Electric

We continue to be a pioneer in the introduction of more electric units for the next development of smarter Engine Control Systems. The smart FMU and electric pump are just two examples.

Smart FMU

A smart Fuel Metering Unit improves accuracy, reduces manufacturing costs and lowers the engine harness weight. The development of built-in electronics provides better fault isolation, reducing maintenance and overcomes the problems associated with harness and connector reliability. Distributed controls reduce development cost

  • Improved fuel metering accuracy
  • Reduced harness weight
  • Improved reliability
  • Easier maintenance through improved fault isolation

Electric Pump

The electrically driven fuel pump will eliminate the need for a mechanical drive from the engine gearbox, allowing fuel to be directly controlled by commanding motor speed.

Engine Control Systems with an electric pump have been demonstrated by Goodrich and showed substantially cleaner and smoother control characteristics than conventional systems.

  • Eliminate dependence on engine gearbox mechanical drive
  • Fuel controlled directly by commanding motor speed.
  • Reduces heat rejected, allows the fuel to be a cooling sink
  • Enables the "All Electric" Engine
