Re:B737NG (CFM 56-7) Engine
Hello all in the Tech log room
Ive just completed my type rating (as a Pilot) on the B737NG. Could someone tell me what those fins do on the outer shell of the engines. If you are sitting in the aircraft you can see them, they are on the forward end of the engine. Im assuming they may deflect airflow or something, just a guess
. Could someone please enlighten me and put me out my misory as Ive been looking everywhere for the answer (CBT and manuals) but still no joy, thanks.

QF forgot to fit one those inboard vortex generators once! When they engine cowls go in for overhaul they usually just make them up as required for which ever eng needs them at the time (eng1 or 2, pilots keep telling engineers that the plane felt wrong at low speed, flew around for a while before they noticed what was missing. No real big deal though!

.. on the contrary .. I was in at CASA airworthiness when the news reached CASA ... there was quite a bit of wide-eyed concern at the time .. things like stall speed changes and the like ..
