Abstract: Embodiments of a fairing of the present invention generally include a V-shaped frontal geometry and linear or non-linear fins. In certain embodiments, the V-shaped frontal geometry is formed by the intersection of substantially linear frontal end segments, while in other embodiments the V-shaped frontal geometry is formed by the intersection of frontal end segments wherein one of both thereof are non-linear. Embodiments of a method of using embodiments of an apparatus of the present invention are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of a fairing of the present invention generally include a pair of fins that intersect at a first closed end thereof forming a V-shaped/pointed frontal geometry and are connectable at a second end thereof via a fin connection assembly, wherein the fairing is adapted and configured to be engaged about at least a portion of a tie-down strap that is securing a cargo object to a cargo support structure, wherein the first closed end is directionally oriented such that air flow resulting from transportation of the cargo object impinges thereupon, and wherein the first closed end geometry is adapted and configured to shield the tie-down strap from excessive vibration during transportation of the cargo object. Embodiments of a method of using embodiments of fairings of the present invention are also provided.
