- tullianus 3y agoYou're describing a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG), famously used on the ISS. They have very high torque output per unit power and mass/volume. They and reaction wheels (fixed axis of rotation) are convenient for spacecraft applications because they don't require an external medium to push against. Aircraft are surrounded by air, so they can use control surfaces instead.
