It does. But both the relevant RR and GE engines use FADEC which

Is the FADEC part of the engine or a separate box in the cockpit or
elsewhere (like an autopilot)?

At least part of the FADEC system is installed right next to the
engine itself. It's a *system* not just one box.


Nope.


Boeing never should have made the Airbus mistake.

FADEC happened long ago. It's nothing to do with Airbus. Do you think
mechanical linkages are any more reliable ?
