	Not yet, for two reasons.

1) anything that says Aircraft costs double or triple, just like
hardware that says for Marine applications.

2) Aircraft can use a very heavy, thick-walled probe which is very
vibration and burn resistant, because they are not interested in
response time. I can't keep my 15-psi boost plus nitrous floored long
enough for one of these gauges to stabilize - unless I can find
several miles of straight, non-public road ;)
Besides, I need to see that I'm running over 1600 degrees BEFORE
frying a piston top or exhaust valve...
