Extensive experimental study of engine-nacelle location and cowling made by NACA is reviewed; factors contributing to efficiency of engine-nacelle and propeller group discussed; several examples given showing how results of experiments are applied, and how use of improved cowlings and better nacelle locations increases high-speed performance of airplanes.
