An integral transmission for a transmission turbomachine has two gearwheels which are in mesh with a large wheel and which are each connected to a shaft that can be connected to an input and/or output unit. A housing, in which the gearwheels or the shafts connected thereto are supported and at least two partial housing units which can be connected by a main joint that extends through the support region of at least one gearwheel in mesh at least indirectly with the large wheel or of the shaft connected to the gearwheel. Accordingly, one of the two partial housing units is formed from at least three housing parts including a central housing part, which is assigned to the large wheel, and two side housing parts.

A gearbox includes a housing, which has a lower housing part onto which an upper housing part is placed. The lower housing part and the upper housing part are in physical contact along a contact surface, for example, so that the contact surface between the lower and upper housing part lies in a plane and/or is planar. Cooling fins are situated on the housing, the cooling fins having a curved characteristic such that a portion of an axially directed airflow streaming along the housing, and thus in particular an airflow that is streaming parallel to the axis of rotation of the input shaft, is deflected in a transverse direction between two cooling fins disposed closest to each other in the axial direction in each case, the axial direction, for example, being parallel to the contact surface, e.g., the plane.
