nacelle

n. basket or car suspended from a hot-air balloon; enclosed area housing an airplane's engine; cargo or passenger compartment of an airplane

The word nacelle is derived from the Old French nacele, which means a small boat or dinghy, which was in turn derived from the Latin navicella.The term is commonly used in aviation, nautical and spacecraft design, to refer to a covered housing, separate from the fuselage that holds engines, fuel, or equipment. In some cases—most notably the  WWII-era P-38 Lightning airplane—the cockpit may also be housed in a nacelle. The covering is typically  aerodynamically shaped.
