Nacelle

Abstract

A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing so as to form a clearance space therebetween. The nacelle includes at least a first cowling which at least partially defines an inlet of the nacelle and which at least partially defines an outlet of the nacelle. The first cowling can include a unitary portion that extends continuously from the inlet to the outlet. The first cowling can also include a flattened surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A nacelle having an inlet, an outlet, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the nacelle comprising:
 a first cowling at least partially defining the inlet and at least partially defining the outlet, the first cowling comprising a unitary portion that extends from the inlet to the outlet; and   a second cowling at least partially defining the outlet, the second cowling being configured to translate relative to the first cowling.
