Abstract
An aircraft includes a wing having a longitudinal centerline axis, a leading edge, a trailing edge aft of the leading edge, a wing thickness, and a wing chord, an engine having a longitudinal axis vertically aligned with the wing chord and parallel to the longitudinal centerline axis, a pylon connecting the wing to the engine, and a fairing received over the pylon. The fairing defines a horizontal plane, a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a second plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the second plane being aft of the first plane, the longitudinal axis defining a reference line when projected onto the horizontal plane. The fairing includes a fairing body defining an aerodynamic surface having an outboard portion and an inboard portion configured such that the first plane intersects the horizontal plane and the aerodynamic surface of the inboard portion at a first intersection point. The first intersection point is laterally displaced from the reference line by a first distance. The second plane intersects the horizontal plane and the aerodynamic surface of the inboard portion at a second intersection point. The second intersection point is laterally displaced from the reference line by a second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance.
