Bombardier have been through a long journey s a company to the place they are today. It all started in Canada when a young Joseph – Armond Bombardier manufactured a snowmobile to help people travel in the snow. When he passed away in the 60’s the company was taken over and focused on transport such as planes and in 1986 they took over Canadair and made it profitable once again. They then went on to take over the Shorts Brothers dying manufacturing company in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

They are placed on the wing away from the main body of the plane they are also ahead of the wing to reduce the strain upon the wing and being below the wing creates less drag and not as much noise for the passengers. A positive of this is that if a problem arises and one of the engines go on fire it is far away from the main body and wont affect of the plane. It is aerodynamically shaped. It includes the structure commonly referred to as engine cowling and also has other components such as the inlet cowl, fan cowl, thrust reverser, core cowl and exhaust. The cowling is used to redirect drag and helps the plane be as aerodynamic as possible. They are generally made out of aluminium but bombardier use carbon fibre to build them because it is easier to stretch and it is stronger than
