Abstract: A forward fairing for an aircraft. The forward fairing includes a fairing shell and an attachment member. The attachment member includes a protrusion that is integrally formed with the fairing shell and a spigot that is coupled to the protrusion. Also, an aircraft structure with such a fairing, a flap support structure with such a fairing, and an aircraft with such a fairing.

Abstract: A fairing for an aircraft, comprises a wall element comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface is exposed to a free air flow outside the fairing, and at least one stiffener element attached to the inner surface of the wall element, to keep the fairing in shape under dynamic pressure loads. The fairing comprises at least one air inlet device comprising an inlet opening for a part of the free air flow outside the fairing to pass through the wall element and to enter the interior of the fairing. The air inlet device is at least partially integrated into the stiffener element, and the inlet opening of the air inlet device is formed in the stiffener element and extends into or through the stiffener element. The air inlet device and the stiffener element may be integrally formed as a single part, by 3D printing.

Abstract: A fairing arrangement for an aircraft high-lift mechanism, the high-lift mechanism including a flap arranged at an aircraft wing trailing edge and a mounting and guiding mechanism for the flap. The fairing arrangement includes a flap side fairing unit and a wing side fairing unit. The flap side fairing unit includes a flap side fairing covering an aft part of the mounting and guiding mechanism and a flap side fairing mount mounting the flap side fairing to the flap. The wing side fairing unit includes a wing side fairing covering a forward part of the mounting and guiding mechanism and a wing side fairing mount mounting the wing side fairing to the wing. The wing side fairing mount is configured to connect the wing side fairing movably to the wing such that the wing side fairing is rotatable around an axis directed at least partially in a vertical direction.
