German term or phrase: Körperhauptachsen
Good evening,

Does anyone know what the English term is for "Körperhauptachsen"? They form part of the Leopard 2A6 tank (KPz Leo 2A6).

Im Voraus vielen Dank!

Kind regards,
Alison.

English translation:main axes // principal axes // major axes // rotational axes (for a tank?)
Explanation:
As far as I'm concerned, the term 'Körper' may be omitted in translation. I guess this is just to indicate that it is, indeed, an 'axis' as opposed to an 'axle'.

Zusammenfassung
Gastrulation bezeichnet eine Phase der frühen Embryonalentwicklung. In der Maus entsteht dabei aus dem bis dahin einschichtigen, zylinderförmigen Embryo ein dreischichtiger Keim aus Ektoderm, Mesoderm und Entoderm. Gleichzeitig werden die Körperachsen und der Grundbauplan festgelegt.

Abstract
Gastrulation is an important phase of early embryogenesis. It is during this phase that the three germ layers arise – ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm – and the primary body axes and basic body plan are established. In the mouse, gastrulation begins when the primitive streak forms in the cylindrical embryo.

A passage from the dissertation:
Die oralaborale oder apikobasale Achse ist die Körperhauptachse, Hydra ist radiärsymmetrisch. Die Hinweise häufen sich, daß dieses Merkmal nicht ancestral ist (de Jong et al. 2006; Matus et al. 2006a; Rentzsch et al. 2006).
