drive technology


Explanation:
I beg to differ - of course, propulsion is the obvious choice with airplanes, but if this piece of drive technology is an electrical motor, e.g. the part that extends or retracts the flappers, or that's used to recline the passanger seats in first class, propulsion is quite misleading. So you may want to check what exactly is being propelled or driven...
