Study Notes
Aircraft Fairing Components
- Fuselage fairings are used to streamline the aircraft's structure and improve aerodynamics.
- These fairings are secured to the fuselage and tubular strut fairings using screws.
Tubular Strut Fairings
- These fairings encapsulate the tubular landing gear struts, providing both protection and aerodynamic benefits.
- Attachments:
- The upper end connects to fuselage fairings.
- The lower end connects to fairing caps.
Fairing Caps
- Fairing caps are positioned at the lower end of the tubular strut fairings.
- They connect to tubular strut fairings at the upper end and are clamped to the tubular struts at the lower end.
Brake Fairings
- Located at the lower end of tubular strut fairings.
- Connected to wheel speed fairings with screws that secure them around the outer perimeter.
Wheel Speed Fairings
- Installed over the wheels to enhance aerodynamics and protect components.
- Attached to mounting plates, which are connected to the axles for stability and support.
