Abstract: A method for sealing a gap between an aircraft fuselage and a wing turntable mounted thereon while in the inflight position. A seal element having wing attached and fuselage attached sections is positioned in the gap and each section is configured to have forward and rearward portions in the direction of rotation of the wing from the inflight to a storage position the forward motion of the fuselage attached section being at least 1% less thick in a direction generally parallel to an axis of rotation of the wing than the rearward portion of the fuselage attached section.

Abstract: A seal for use between a turntable rotatable aircraft wing and an aircraft fuselage. The seal consists of a pair of sections, one rotatable and one stationary, each having forward and rearward portions separated by a point of inflection. The forward motion of the rotating section is made thicker by at least 1% than the rearward portion of the rotating section.
