ABSTRACT:
Sealing system for the gap (2) between the fuselage (3) and the elevator (4) of the orientable horizontal stabiliser (5) of an aircraft, extended with an aerodynamic fairing (8) for sealing of the opening (24) between the fuselage (3) and said orientable horizontal stabiliser (5) which comprises a main body (1) and an aerodynamic fairing (8) which is extended from the main body (1) in continuity with the latter, and a plurality of first elastic sealing profiles (9) between the first surface (11) of the main body (1) including the aerodynamic fairing (8) and the outer surface of the fuselage (3) and making contact with them, and a plurality of second elastic sealing profiles (13) between the second surface (12) of the main body (1) and the first end of the elevator (15) and making contact with them, in such a way that the sealing takes place of the gap (2) and the opening (24) and an aerodynamic continuity is produced between the orientable horizontal stabiliser (5), the fuselage (3) and the elevator (4) when the elevator (4) is at rest in the plane of the orientable horizontal stabiliser (5) for any of the orientation positions of the orientable horizontal stabiliser (5).
