[edit] Wind turbines:

I believe that nacelle also refers to the part on a wind turbine that houses the generator. This is not included in this article or the wind turbine article. I would add it, but I wanted to make sure that this is real first. (Is this the right place to do this?) I've only seen this part of the wind turbine refered to as the nacelle in one place, but it seems to fit the description of the rest of the article. (My reference)

Here's another web site that refers to the nacelle as part of the wind turbine: (Second reference)

[edit] List?

It'd be nice if we could get a list of planes that have nacelles. I know only of the P38 and SR71 Leoroc 03:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] original meaning

In the first paragraph, the original meaning in french is said to be a small boat (operating from a ship, it seems), but later it says the original meaning of the french is the basket of a hot-air balloon. I'd change this but I can think of various legit. things the author might have been trying to say, and just was careless in grammar.Ealthodores 20:53, 17 November 2006

[edit] A Town named Naselle

So there's a town with the same/similar name...If we were to add totally irrelevant things to articles because they are spelled similar, Wikipedia would soon bog down. Seriously people, a nacelle is an engineering/aviation term, so what if a town has a similar name? Peter1968 10:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
