powerplant Explanation: Given the Robinson site and the GDT, for helicopters, "powerplant" seems highly likely. “Groupe moto-propulseur” (see refs at (4), below). And also the ref of the European Patent Office, where the invention has been registered (5). Also although one helicopter site uses “moto-propulsé”, this is describing how the machine is powered, not referring to the type of engine. Conclusion, when associated with “group”, then “motopropulseur” is correct. After this long winding path, I checked out the GDT – bingo!

powertrain Explanation: This is the most common term I find in the English or American texts I translate; "groupe moto-propulseur" in French designates the engine, the transmission and various accessories attached (clutches, generators, starters, etc) See references below, but it looks like the term "powertrain" and "powerplant" could be used interchangeably for aircrafts and helicopters: http://www2.state.id.us/mil/army/1-183ATKHEL.htm http://www.stayarmy.com/cmf67.htm Reference: http://www.amesim.com/consulting/typical-studies.html Reference: http://www.continentalcomponents.com/aus.html |
