Thielert: Offers FADEC to Superior

…Slightly incestuous, but for the greater good. A version of Thielert’s electronic engine controls appeared on a Superior O-360 engine (a modified Lycoming) intended for homebuilts. The fully electronic, throttle-by-wire system uses many off-the-shelf automotive components and is, in this application, boosted by a small turbocharger. The installation includes a single throttle lever and full engine-status instrumentation. Superior has no plans to certify the system.
