FADEC Alliance, a joint venture effort that includes major aerospace companies like GE, BAE Systems, and Safran Electronics & Defense (Safran) will design and develop the electronic control system architecture for the CFM International (CFM) Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) demonstrator engine program. As part of the advanced technology program, FADEC Alliance supports the maturation of new technologies for future engines, to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Technologies developed as part of the RISE demonstrator program will prove the concepts and capabilities needed for a potential next-generation CFM engine that is targeted to be available by the mid-2030s. The demonstrator program has its main focus on advanced technologies like open fan architecture, hybrid electric capability, electrified engine accessories, and hydrogen propulsion.
