What I want to know is what that part was.

TurboEncabulator. The most precise component in the entire evolutionary aeroplane cycle. I would not want a counterfeit.

I shudder to think that a plane could have gotten off the ground with its turbo unencabulated. The horror.

That's old tech. The HyperEncabulator is where it's at.
