Sort of...

MCD inspired by the brilliant crew handling of the Sioux City incident, using thrust vectors, then worked out a system they called “fly by fire” where the control inputs were sent tho the engine fcus instead of the flight controls. Visiting pilots were invited to try it in flight and apart from a little lag, were very impressed.
I don’t know whether the system was marketed, however.
