Walk-around of J47 engine nacelle on the port wing. Picture 1 of 8. Note one of the aircraft landing lights mounted in the nacelle between the two engines. The B-47's wings were too thin to house customary retracting wheels, so the outrigger gear retracts into a housing between the two J-47s in the engine nacelle Nearly-identical J47 nacelles were added to later models of the B-36 bomber, modified to omit the landing gear and to run on the same fuel as the B-36's piston engines. | ||||
