A lawsuit blamed Bell Helicopter Textron, Rolls-Royce North America, Honeywell International, and other companies for a February 2010 crash of a Kiowa OH-58D Warrior helicopter in Iraq that killed Tennessee National Guard members Marcus Ray Alford and Billie Jean Grinder. The lawsuit alleged that the crash was caused by the failure of a system known as the Full Authority Digital Electronic Control, or FADEC, and by the allegedly defective manufacture, construction, design, preparation, assembly, testing, service, warning, instruction, and marketing of the helicopter. In December 2013, it was reported that the family of Alford reached a settlement with the defendants.
