Housing of plane engine (7)

I believe the answer is:

nacelle

(Other definitions for nacelle that I've seen before include "Streamlined housing on an aircraft" , "airship's gondola" , "Aircraft engine casing" , "Aircraft body" , "Streamlined enclosure on aircraft" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
