The engine utilizes a 2 : 1 belt reduction drive with a centrifugal clutch to allow the propeller to stop when the engine is at idle.

The Saxomat consisted of two independent systems, the centrifugal clutch, and the rpms by centrifugal force, acting on spinning weights inside the clutch, similar to a centrifugal governor.

Citro�n combined a freewheel and a centrifugal clutch to make the so-called'TraffiClutch'where the car could be started, stopped and the lower gears be changed without using the clutch pedal.

The engine also incorporates a centrifugal clutch that allows the engine to idle without the propeller turning, which improves safety during canopy inflation and launch, as well as landing.

Its light weight and modular design were such that both the engine and its rudimentary three-speed transmission with centrifugal clutch could be swapped out in about five minutes with minimal manpower.
