Befor anybody gets too ecited about "a Puma MGB" again.

The report says - Späne im Haupttriebwerk" (Chips in the "Main"Engine) nothing about Hauptgetriebe (Main gear box) - but then again the Bild is the equivalent to the SUN :-)

well, there is nothing like a main engine in the Puma
and rumors from within the agency are saying MGB 😏
probably we have to wait for the official report, before waves go high again 😏

Getriebwerk is gearbox. Motor or turbinenmotor would be the engine.

The article states "Haupttriebwerk", which translates to "Main engine".
As we all know, that's not a thing..


​I assume they meant "Hauptgetriebe", which translates to "Main transmission".

Rigga - a bit wrong there.

Getriebe is Gearbox.

Engine would be Motor, Turbine or Triebwerk for example.

I guess the newspaper meant MGB but they wrote „ Main Engine“ (Haupttriebwerk).

That is why I mentioned that it is the German SUN.

But no harm done - itˋs just the press :-)

Well, it wasn't the press, that was a direct quote from the minister. To him an engine is a gearbox is an engine. It is whatever important component had chips.
