Current Trends and Future Opportunities for Aircraft Engine Nacelle Industry
Current Trends and Future Opportunities for Aircraft Engine Nacelle Industry A nacelle is a housing that is separate from the fuselage and houses the engines, fuel or equipment of an aircraft. In some cases - for example in a typical "Farman" pusher aircraft or the P-38 Lightning from World War II - the cockpit of an aircraft can also be housed in a nacelle, which essentially fulfills the function of a conventional fuselage. The cover is typically aerodynamically shaped.

This is known as the podded engine. During the development, the four engines of four different nacelles, each with their own wheel, were merged into two nacelles with two engines each. In recent years, General Electric and NASA ...
