Cowling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cowling is a covering of an engine in a motorcycle or other automobile, or in aircraft. It serves several purposes such as aerodynamics, cooling of an engine by directing airflow over the engine or through a radiator, air intake for jet engines, and decorative purposes.
See NACA cowling for an example in aviation.
The word cowling is derived from cowl, a garment worn by monks.
