Just read about this in Automotive Engineering.
Could find an application in homebuilt aircraft.
Also convertible to the upcoming 42v systems.
Actually stops the engine during a no-load

the accelerator is applied.
We can do without that feature in aviation,eh?

A lot of gas/electric hybrids are combining a torque motor with this device.
