[Also in Division F2] A body e.g. an aircraft fuselage 11, has a portion, e.g. a flat underside 12, producing flow separation and trailing vortex 17, 18, and has a fairing 13, 14 lying in or near the vortex to displace it and reduce the drag on the body. The aircraft fuselage 11 may also have a bulge 15 to strengthen the fairings 13, 14 and to contribute to the reduction of drag.
