A fairing arrangement for bridging an aircraft fixed structure 14, and a control surface 10. (eg. an aileron operated by a jack 16) comprises first and second fairing portions 22, 24, on the fixed structure 14, and control surface 10, respectively, with an intermediate flexible seal 26, disposed between them. The seal is deformable, to accommodate differential movement between the fairing portions 22, 24, and may include a surface layer (30 fig.7) of low friction material. The seal 26, may be made by impregnating plies, of knitted polyester fibres, with silicone. One of the plies may be provided with border strips of woven glass fibre material. |
