AIRCRAFT PYLON FAIRING

Abstract:

An assembly comprises a wing and a pylon fairing extending from the wing at a pylon location. The pylon fairing has an aerodynamic profile defining a fairing trailing edge. The pylon fairing has an upper section extending from the wing and a lower section including a shelf. The aerodynamic profile of the upper section is cambered toward the root of the wing. The aerodynamic profile of at least part of the lower section is symmetrical. The fairing trailing edge in the upper section extends axially rearward of a trailing edge of the wing at the pylon location. In addition or alternately, a distance between the fairing trailing edge in the upper section and a trailing edge of the wing at the pylon location has a value corresponding to at most 30% of a local chord of the wing at the pylon location.
