ABSTRACT:
A fairing for aerodynamically covering the actuation mechanism of a variable area exhaust nozzle, comprising an upper and a lower longitudinally extending half-fairing member and having a generally arcuate cross-section, each of the half-fairing members having an upstream and a downstream end, and two longitudinal edges, the half-fairing members being pivotally connected to each other at a pivot point near the upstream edges and a connection along one of the longitudinal edges of each of said half-fairing members for interengaging the other of the half-fairing members and allowing the half-fairing members to rotate about the pivot point for changing the aerodynamic surface area of the fairing upon variation of the area of the exhaust nozzle.
