Cowling









A cowling is the covering of a vehicle's engine, most often found on automobiles and aircraft.


A cowling may be used:



  • for drag reduction

  • for engine cooling by directing airflow

  • as an air intake for jet engines

  • for decorative purposes


Examples in aviation include the NACA cowling and Townend ring.
