You're welcome. There are others, like C-stoff and T-stoff (which referred to the Me 163 Komet rocket interceptor's fuel and oxidizer [I forget which was which])--even some postwar British hydrogen peroxide/hydrazine hydrate (or kerosene) rocket engines, which German scientists and engineers helped develop, had their propellant inlets stamped "C-stoff" and "T-stoff." Also:
I wonder what terms the Germans use for IRIS-T components such as the infrared seeker? I wouldn't be surprised if they use their words for, say, "heat eye," or "viper pit" (the U.S. Sidewinder got its name from its Sidewinder-like flight pattern [which is reminiscent of the way the Sidewinder rattlesnake moves], and from its pit viper-like infrared seeker).
