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.

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

Since nobody have a serious reply, two parts are mentioned in the article, a turbine blade and a turbine nozzle.
