Goodrich Corporation is partnering with a multi-company/university team, led by Rolls-Royce, on a research project focused on developing technology to reduce the environmental impact of gas turbine aerospace engines. The program has been dubbed the Environmentally Friendly Engine (EFE) technology program. Goodrich's Engine Control and Electrical Power Systems team, headquartered in Birmingham, UK, is Rolls-Royce's largest partner on the program and will be providing the next generation of electronic and fuel system controls for six engine technology validation runs over the course of five years.

According to Simon Burr, Goodrich's Vice President, Engineering and Programs for Engine Controls, "Solutions to provide environmentally-friendly aerospace engines are linked to the need for dramatic improvements in engine control technology. As part of this team, Goodrich will stay at the forefront of emerging innovations which will ultimately enable the engine manufacturers to meet the global airline industry's needs as they evolve over time. Changes on the horizon include engines which emit 20% less carbon dioxide, 80% less nitrogen oxide and a noise reduction of 18 decibels."
