A forward bulkhead 50 is coupled between the interior wall and the exterior wall, wherein the forward bulkhead comprises a curvilinear body portion that extends between the interior wall and the exterior wall. The engine nacelle also includes an aft bulkhead 70 coupled between the interior wall and the exterior wall, wherein the aft bulkhead comprises a curvilinear body portion that extends between the interior wall and the exterior wall. The forward bulkhead may be formed from a ceramic matrix composite. The aft bulkhead may be made from a super-plastic formed diffusion-bonded titanium. Methods of manufacturing engine nacelles of these configurations are also included.
