The throttle enables fast changeovers between different engine types in the same hush house or test facility. The throttle provides dual control modes: immediate direct control, where the operator's handle movement instantaneously controls the PLA, or target - based control, where the operator can set a desired position and the PLA will autonomously run to that position at a preset speed.

Designed, used, and improved for over 10 years in both commercial and military engine test markets, the Electronic Engine Throttle System is compatible with both FADEC and mechanical PLA engines. It is available in a single throttle control version to support thrust engine variants, and a multiple control version to support the turboshaft/turboprop engine market.

As an additional benefit to military customers, the model 5400 is a direct approved fit into the USAF’s A/M37T - 20 cab used in Mobile Engine Test Systems, as well as all T4 test cell noise suppressors. The Atec Companies also offer legacy and upgrade throttles and control systems for many US Navy and Allies engines.
