What is the different between an aircraft engine gearbox and aan aircraft engine transmission?

WhatFor an aircraft engine, what is the differentdifference between an enginea gearbox and a transmission?

Are an engine gearbox and a transmission the same thing? I thoughtwas of the understanding that a transmission is just a geartype of gearbox. For example, whichin a helicopter, a transmission is used in an engine gearbox to transfer theconvert horizontal rotation of the main shaftturbo-shaft to a vertical shaft rotation. Is an aircraft engine gearbox and aircraft engine transmission the same thing?

Are there other types of gearboxes used in aircraft engines besides the transmission design?

I've read a lot about helicopters engine but i couldn't understand what What is the different between an engine gearbox and a transmission?

I'm confused that areWhat is the different between an engine gearbox and a transmission?

Are an engine gearbox and a transmission the same thing or not? I mean I thought that a transmission is just a gear, which is used in an engine gearbox to transfer the horizontal rotation of the main shaft to a vertical shaft rotation. am I right? or it's another gearbox connected to engine gearbox?
