Abstract
The present invention is a flexible fairing for covering rotor connections on a rotor wing aircraft. Such a fairing would comprise a flexible polyurethane foam material which could maintain its aerodynamic shape while in flight yet be compliant enough to allow for changes in blade pitch without adding significant torsional stiffness to the connector. In addition, a flexible urethane rubber coating may be used to protect the foam fairing for abrasion or moisture absorption.
