- - - - -
FADEC means "full authority digital engine control." A FADEC takes total control of the engine, not allowing the pilot to do anything but tell the FADEC to make the engine go faster or slower. Now here's the problem: when all the sensors feeding data to the FADEC are working properly, this is a great system but if one or more sensors feeds bad data to the FADEC, the system is more than happy to put the engines in a mode that will cause the plane to fly straight into the ground...which has happened on Airbuses.
It is possible to get a plane that doesn't have a FADEC system, but they're getting rarer.
What is the difference between the difference engine and the Analytical Engine?
The Difference Engine, designed by Charles Babbage in the 1820s, was a mechanical calculator intended for producing mathematical tables through finite differences. In contrast, the Analytical Engine, conceived later in the 1830s, was a more advanced design that featured a general-purpose computing architecture, including an arithmetic logic unit, control flow through conditional branching, and memory. While the Difference Engine was specific to a single task, the Analytical Engine was envisioned as a programmable machine capable of performing any calculation. This distinction marks the Analytical Engine as a precursor to modern computers.

Airbus.
Major structural sections of the A380 are built in France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. They are brought to the Airbus assembly hall (the Jean-Luc Lagardère Plant) in Toulouse in France.
The maiden flight for the Airbus A380-800 was on 27 April 2005.
Any of those kiddie rides would fit the bill & most are real trains.
