nacelle
One of the most successful pusher biplanes was the Farman III, developed by Henri Farman following a falling-out with Gabriel Voisin: he retained the basic layout of the Voisin, but incorporated ailerons (as added to his Voisin), modified the undercarriage by adding skids to prevent the aircraft nosing-over on landing and modified the structure, eliminating the <anchor>nacelle</anchor> in which the pilot sat and mounting the forward elevator on outrigger booms. This design was copied by many constructors, and was so influential that when Mervyn O'Gorman created a scheme for classifying the products of the Royal Aircraft Factory according to their configuration such aircraft were classified as "F.E" for "Farman Experimental. All tractor aircraft were designated "B.E" for "Blériot Experimental", although all the B.E. designs produced were biplanes, unlike the designs for which Blériot was known.

Part of an aircraft, encasing the engines

This article is about aircraft nacelles. For wind turbine nacelles, see [Nacelle (wind turbine)](/wiki/Nacelle_(wind_turbine) "Nacelle (wind turbine)").

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Boeing_707_engineviewedit.jpg/220px-Boeing_707_engineviewedit.jpg)](/wiki/File:Boeing_707_engineviewedit.jpg) Engines in nacelles on a [Boeing 707](/wiki/Boeing_707 "Boeing 707")

A **nacelle** ([/nəˈsɛl/](/wiki/Help:IPA/English "Help:IPA/English") [_nə-SEL_](/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key "Help:Pronunciation respelling key")) is a streamlined container for [aircraft](/wiki/Aircraft "Aircraft") parts such as [engines](/wiki/Aircraft_engine "Aircraft engine"), fuel or equipment.[\[1\]](#cite_note-1) When attached entirely outside the airframe, it is sometimes called a pod, in which case it is attached with a [pylon](/wiki/Hardpoint#Pylon "Hardpoint") or strut and the engine is known as a [podded engine](/wiki/Podded_engine "Podded engine").[\[2\]](#cite_note-2) In some cases—for instance in the typical " [Farman](/wiki/Farman_Aviation_Works "Farman Aviation Works")" type ["pusher" aircraft](/wiki/Pusher_configuration "Pusher configuration"), or the [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II")-era [P-38 Lightning](/wiki/P-38_Lightning "P-38 Lightning")—an aircraft cockpit may also be housed in a nacelle, rather than in a conventional [fuselage](/wiki/Fuselage "Fuselage").

## Etymology

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Nacelle&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Etymology")\]

Like many [aviation](/wiki/Aviation "Aviation") terms, the word comes from [French](/wiki/French_language "French language"), in this case from a word for a small boat.[\[3\]](#cite_note-3)

## Development

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Nacelle&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Development")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Arado_Ar_234V6_and_Ar_234V8_front-view_silhouettes.png/220px-Arado_Ar_234V6_and_Ar_234V8_front-view_silhouettes.png)](/wiki/File:Arado_Ar_234V6_and_Ar_234V8_front-view_silhouettes.png) The development of the [Arado Ar 234](/wiki/Arado_Ar_234 "Arado Ar 234"), merging the four nacelles into two

The [Arado Ar 234](/wiki/Arado_Ar_234 "Arado Ar 234") was one of the first operational jet aircraft with engines mounted in nacelles. During its development, the four engines had four distinct nacelles. They once had their own landing gear wheel, but they were later combined to two nacelles with two engines each.

Around 2010, [General Electric](/wiki/General_Electric "General Electric") and [NASA](/wiki/NASA "NASA") have developed nacelles with chevron-shaped trailing edges to reduce the engine noise of commercial aircraft, using an experimental [Boeing 777](/wiki/Boeing_777 "Boeing 777") as a test platform.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)

## Applications

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Nacelle&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Applications")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Boeing_B-52B_engine_nacelle.jpg/220px-Boeing_B-52B_engine_nacelle.jpg)](/wiki/File:Boeing_B-52B_engine_nacelle.jpg) Twin-engine nacelle on a [B-52](/wiki/B-52 "B-52") Stratofortress

Usually, multi-engined aircraft use nacelles for housing the engines.[\[5\]](#cite_note-nacelledesignandsizing-5) Combat aircraft (such as the [Eurofighter Typhoon](/wiki/Eurofighter_Typhoon "Eurofighter Typhoon")) usually have the engines mounted within the fuselage. Some engines are installed in the aircraft wing, as in the [De Havilland Comet](/wiki/De_Havilland_Comet "De Havilland Comet") and [Flying Wing](/wiki/Flying_Wing "Flying Wing") type aircraft. Engines may be mounted in individual nacelles, or in the case of larger aircraft such as the [Boeing B-52 Stratofortress](/wiki/Boeing_B-52_Stratofortress "Boeing B-52 Stratofortress") (pictured right) may have two engines mounted in a single nacelle. Nacelles can be made fully or partially detachable for holding expendable resources such as fuel and armaments. Nacelles may be used to house equipment that will only function remote from the fuselage, for example the [Boeing E-3 Sentry](/wiki/Boeing_E-3_Sentry "Boeing E-3 Sentry") radar is housed in a nacelle called a radome.

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/E-3_Sentry_exercise_Green_Flag_2012.jpg/220px-E-3_Sentry_exercise_Green_Flag_2012.jpg)](/wiki/File:E-3_Sentry_exercise_Green_Flag_2012.jpg) The [Boeing E-3 Sentry](/wiki/Boeing_E-3_Sentry "Boeing E-3 Sentry") uses a nacelle to house its large radar.

### Other uses

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Nacelle&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Other uses")\]

- [Edward Turner](/wiki/Edward_Turner_(motorcycle_designer) "Edward Turner (motorcycle designer)") used the term to describe his styling device introduced in 1949 to tidy the area around the headlamp and instrument panel of his [Triumph Speed Twin](/wiki/Triumph_Speed_Twin "Triumph Speed Twin"), [Thunderbird](/wiki/Triumph_Thunderbird "Triumph Thunderbird") and [Tiger 100](/wiki/Triumph_Tiger_100 "Triumph Tiger 100") motorcycles. This styling device was much copied within the British industry thereafter, although Czech motorcycle manufacturer [Česká Zbrojovka Strakonice](/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A1_Zbrojovka_Strakonice "Česká Zbrojovka Strakonice") was using it beforehand. Indeed, the [Royal Enfield Bullet](/wiki/Royal_Enfield_Bullet "Royal Enfield Bullet") still retains its version, the 'casquette', on its current models. The last Triumphs to sport nacelles were the 1966 models of the 6T [Triumph Thunderbird](/wiki/Triumph_Thunderbird "Triumph Thunderbird") 650, 5TA [Triumph Speed Twin](/wiki/Triumph_Speed_Twin "Triumph Speed Twin") 500, and 3TA [Triumph Twenty One](/wiki/Triumph_Twenty_One "Triumph Twenty One") 350.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)\[ _[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]
- The [generator and gearbox "shell"](/wiki/Nacelle_(wind_turbine) "Nacelle (wind turbine)") – with rotator shaft – on a [horizontal-axis wind turbine](/wiki/Horizontal-axis_wind_turbine "Horizontal-axis wind turbine") (HAWT).[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)
- A forward projection of a catamaran's bridgedeck designed to soften the impact of seas or make more space inside the cabin.
- In [Star Trek](/wiki/Star_Trek "Star Trek") it is also used as a term for the housing containing coils that generate the warp field. This is separate to the engine that powers them.

## Design considerations

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Nacelle&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Design considerations")\]

The primary design issue with aircraft-mounted nacelles is streamlining to minimise [drag](/wiki/Aerodynamic_drag "Aerodynamic drag") so nacelles are mounted on slender pylons. This can cause issues with directing the needed conduits mounted within the nacelle to connect to the aircraft through such a narrow space. This is especially concerning with nacelles containing engines, as the fuel, and control, lines for multiple engine functions must all go through the pylons.[\[5\]](#cite_note-nacelledesignandsizing-5)
It is often necessary for nacelles to be asymmetrical, but aircraft designers try to keep asymmetrical elements to a minimum to reduce operator maintenance costs associated with having two sets of parts for either side of the aircraft.[\[5\]](#cite_note-nacelledesignandsizing-5)
