    2018 Annual Report WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION Annual Report https://www.ge.com/investor-relations/annual-report Sustainability Website https://www.ge.com/sustainability FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the information we provide in this document is forward-looking and therefore could change over time to reflect changes in the environment in which GE competes. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see https://www.ge.com/ investor-relations/important-forward-looking-statement-information. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the CEO letter supplemental information package posted to the investor relations section of our website at www.ge.com. Cover: The GE9X engine hanging on a test stand at our Peebles Test Operation facility in Ohio. Here we test how the engine’s high-pressure turbine nozzles and shrouds, composed of a new lightweight and ultra-strong material called ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), are resistant to the engine’s white-hot air.

  • FADEC Hispano-Suiza
    www.next-up.org http://www.hispano-suiza-sa.com/spip.php?article17&lang=fr&lang=en Electricity and electronics Digital Engine Control The Full Authority Digital Engine Control, better known as a FADEC, is one of the largest ECUs* on an aircraft. It is a microprocessor-based unit. * Ndlr of Next-up : "Electronic control unit", or ECU is the generic term for the units that control and monitor aircraft systems, including the engines. ECUs are the largest business for the Electrical Division. Hispano-Suiza’s vast experience in engine control systems has driven the development of "smart" control systems in a number of other areas, including thrust reversers, braking, steering, landing gear, propeller deicing, and more. The FADEC continuously processes and analyzes key engine parameters (up to 70 times a second), to make sure the engine operates at maximum potential. It manages the startup phase (which takes only about 40 seconds on the latest models), and then the entire operating envelope, from idle to full throttle. Hispano-Suiza has developed three generations of FADEC systems for high-power commercial aircraft engines (in conjunction with BAE Systems). The latest member of this family is the FADEC 3, designed, produced and supported through FADEC International, a joint venture of Hispano-Suiza and BAE Systems. The FADEC 3 is not only lighter than its predecessor, but has 10 times the computing power. This means it can incorporate new functions, especially maintenance and diagnostics, to better satisfy engine- makers’ current and future needs. The FADEC 3 uses a larger share of off-the-shelf electronic components, has fewer connectors, and more input/outputs to handle more sensors and actuators.
