Structural attach method for thin fairings

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus for attaching a fairing to a body or aircraft wing are disclosed. A plurality of attach anchors is disposed on the body or aircraft wing to which the fairing is to be attached. Disposed in the fairing is a plurality of core pockets that are alignable with the plurality of attach anchors, and each of the core pockets defines a channel. The fairing is placed over the body or the aircraft wing such that the heads of the attach anchors are received in the core pockets. The fairing is then slid across the body or the aircraft wing with the channels sliding along the heads of the attach anchors such that the fairing is prevented from being lifted away from the body or aircraft wing.
