Abstract

Flap track fairings are familiar features of every modern aircraft. In recent developments much has been done to decrease fairing drag with sophisticated aerodynamic design. But a significant parasite drag always remains which is particularly substantial at high airspeed during cruise, a flight phase not requiring any flap track actuation, the fairings thus being responsible for part f the parasite drag and unnecessary fuel consumption. Avoidance of this fairing drag could therefore lead to an improvement in the aircraft's operating costs as well as a payload increase due to less fuel consumption.
