摘要

An aircraft wheel noise reduction fairing (8) includes a disk (10) having first and second sides (12, 14) and a plurality of circumferentially disposed openings (16) between the first side (12) and the second side (14) and at least one mesh structure (24,26) connected to the second side (14) of the disk (10) overlying the plurality of circumferentially disposed openings (16). Also the combination of an aircraft wheel (30) and a noise reduction fairing (8) wherein the aircraft wheel (30) includes a hub (32) surrounding a wheel axis of rotation (34), a web (36) projecting from the hub (32) and a cylindrical wall (40) having an inner surface (42) and an outer surface (44) connected to the web (36) and surrounding the axis of rotation (34). The wall (40) has an end edge (46) spaced from the web (36), a flange (48) spaced from the end edge (46) and projecting from the cylindrical wall (40), and the fairing (8) includes a plurality of circumferentially disposed openings and is mounted in the cylindrical space defined by the cylindrical wall (40).
