Description
Desired capability or behavior.
Copied from source code: do all engines support nacelles? If not, is this deliberate, or just an artifact of the implementation?
See NacelleCharacteristicLength of subsystems/geometry/flops_based/characteristic_lengths.py.
This case is really rare if any. If use GASP, one can set KNAC=0, but Aviary does not use KNAC. If the engine is buried inside the fuselage, GASP can do that case also (Set CKN=0).

Research direction
Start in subsystems/geometry/flops_based/characteristic_lengths.py at NacelleCharacteristicLength and trace how engine nacelles are handled. Compare the current behavior with the GASP KNAC=0 and CKN=0 cases described in the issue. Done means the behavior for engines without nacelles is clearly defined and supported or explicitly ruled out.
