ABSTRACT:
A flexible fairing 13 is provided which includes an aerodynamic surface 20 composed of a plurality of closely spaced, telescopic fairing members 14 and a moveable fairing panel 18. One end 15 of each fairing member 14 is pivotably secured to a divergent flap 11 of a thrust vectoring nozzle, and the other end 17 of the fairing member is pivotably secured to the fairing panel 18 which is slideably mounted to the static structure of a nozzle 19 of a gas turbine engine. The flexible fairing 13 adjusts to accommodate both translational and rotational movement of the divergent flap relative to an airframe fairing 10, thereby maintaining an aerodynamic surface 20 between the airframe fairing 10 and the divergent flap 11 of the nozzle.
