Cowling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cowling is a covering of a vehicle's engine, most often found on automobiles and aircraft. Cowlings can serve multiple purposes, including aerodynamics, cooling of an engine by directing airflow, as an air intake for jet engines, and for aesthetic or decorative purposes.
See NACA cowling for an example in aviation.
The word cowling is derived from cowl, a garment worn by monks.
