Well, Neo's work inspired me to do a little modeling of my own. Here's a preview.

More to come!

Not if this is based on the design conversation I think it is.  It'll be VERY different when he's done.

Did you mean "nacelle"? That's exactly what it is... an engine nacelle.

Is "Nacelle" a Star-Trek exclusive term, or is it an actual scientific term (and thus one we could use without problem)?

Last I was aware, nacelle is NOT a Star Trek exclusive term.

Okay cool. So what's a scientific definition then? (as a curiousity)
