It also makes wing components, engine nacelles and pylons for Boeing jets.

The flaw could cause the inlet at the front end of the pod surrounding the engine — known as a nacelle — to overheat and potentially break up.

The nacelles that house the generator for each wind turbine are there, too.

While the turbines will be supplied by General Electric, the cabinlike structures called nacelles, which house the gearing and electronics, will be made in France.

Christopher Lorence, chief engineer at GE Aerospace said doing away with the heavy nacelle pod and the internal thrust reverser saves about a ton of weight on each engine.
