A fairing drive assembly couples a flap assembly of a wing of an aircraft to a fairing of the wing. The fairing drive assembly may include a fairing cam including a first joint and a second joint, and a flap link pivotally coupled to the first joint of the fairing cam and the flap assembly. A fairing drive arm is pivotally coupled to the second joint and the fairing. The fairing cam is configured to rotate upon actuation of the flap assembly and deflect the fairing away from the flap assembly.
