No. I don't think that is what Howard said. He said the air is drawn from inside the engine, which is true for most planes. I said that the 787 intakes air from in front of the engine. Unless I misunderstood.

Suspect there could be confusion. This is a nacelle

So the outside air is drawn in from somewhere in the whole unit.

Er, well yes. I know what a nacelle is.

Where's the confusion? I don't understand.

That's where most planes take cabin air. A 787 takes cabin air through this instead, thus eliminating engine contaminants.
