Aircraft wing pylon extensions for minimised aerodynamic penalties.

摘要

A wing mounted pylon for an aircraft in which the pylon (2) can be maintained a a desired maximum thickness (7) consistent with structural and accessory and equipment space requirement but with substantially zero aerodynamic penalties. The maximum parallel thickness (7) extends over at least a portion of the pylon length and is then maintained beyond the wing local trailing edge by means of a trailing edge extension fairing (10).
