How to define an engine geometry that is to be used within medium to higher 
fidelity aerodynamic calculations?

Comments: 
Use a similar approach as for the definition of a fuselage (and wing), i.e. let 
the user define actual cross-sectional profiles and connect these to generate 
actual engine aerodynamic shapes

For low-level calculations the definition of the engine nacelle should be fine. 

As we do not feature a geometric library for engines at the time, we will need 
to postpone this issue. Engine geometries can become highly complex (BWB 
inlets, etc). 

If there are major requests, e.g. tools-available we will include this in the 
schedule

As expected, major requests came up, so the issue is open again.
