http://www.avweb.com/newspics/winner946.jpg What is the thing that looks like a big kettle in the foreground? Hey Homie! It's the hole you pour money into when you own a plane. I think the one in the avweb pic is aluminum. The ones sitting around at the Duluth airport are composite holes. Aren't most planes equipped with one? I own an aquatic version of that very same hole. It came, included, in the boat-motor-trailer package we bought this summer from my folks. -- Montblack |

Christopher ..
I can't post to a newsgroup from this account, feel free to post this if you wish. To me. it looks like the forward part of a jet engine nacelle. My guess is one of the hi-bypass turbo-fan type engines such as on the 767. It's not an 'oval' shape, so chances are it's not for the newer 737s. DJSloan/Ground bound [for now] in Houston, TX |

Beer keg?
definitely not because it isn't painted light blue as in HP.... damn, I can't even remember the full name of the airline. Oh just remembed, America West. I used to be a UA 1K but now I prefer to fly myself. My guess is one of the hi-bypass turbo-fan type engines such as on the 767. It's not an 'oval' shape, so chances are it's not for the newer 737s. correct on the 737 since it isn't oval shaped and it isn't of the 737-300 low-bypass engines either. I doubt it is a 767 or 777 since those intakes are about the size of a 737 diameter. I don't think it is a 747 nacelle either. I presume it is from a US air carrier so you can rule out almost every other manufacturer since it is bigger than a Regional Jet intake. Maybe it is a beer keg? Gerald |

Well, the 767 and 747 engines should be the same size shouldn't
they? I know the BA fleet use RB211-524Gs or Hs on both those planes. The 777 uses the Trent or GE90 which is bigger, though the Trent series now has various sizes.
