Engines in nacelles on a Boeing 707
A nacelle (/nəˈsɛl/nə-SEL) is a streamlined container for aircraft parts such as engines, fuel or equipment.[1] When attached entirely outside the airframe, it is sometimes called a pod, in which case it is attached with a pylon or strut and the engine is known as a podded engine.[2] In some cases—for instance in the typical "Farman" type "pusher" aircraft, or the World War II-era P-38 Lightning—an aircraft cockpit may also be housed in a nacelle, rather than in a conventional fuselage.
