In my sandbox I propose to expand and edit the wiki-page on the Power-egg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-egg). I will attempt to add more links making it easier for scholars to navigate through related material and I will also add more information in attempt to increase the amount of facts provided for the page. I will edit the wording lightly simply because as I was reading it I found it somewhat difficult to understand what was being said.

The Power-egg, called kraftei by the Germans, was a design feature of aircraft during World War II. The power-egg was a modular Engine installation consisting of the engine and all ancillary equipment. This power-egg could be swapped between similar and suitably designed aircraft with standardized quick changing fixing points and connectors. A main pro to the power-egg was simply how convenient it was in terms of the installation and removal of the actual engine and equipment. The power-egg would be removed before Mean time to failure was reached and sent for maintenance as a fresh one was installed. In ideal conditions spare engines were placed in sealed containers protected from damage and the elements, to be opened when needed. The practicality made the power-egg a very popular Engine module throughout World War II and provided for the continual use of it after the war. Ultimately the power-egg had a impact on World War II in the sense that it provided the Germans with a very efficient means of re-servicing their Planes.
