Aerospace vehicle fairing systems (100a, 100b) and associated methods, including fairings that house flap surface drive mechanisms on aircraft (150), are disclosed herein. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a fairing system (100) that includes a fairing (120) mounted to an airfoil (110). The fairing (120) can have a longitudinal axis (L2) and a fairing section (122) extending along the longitudinal axis forward and aft of a trailing edge portion (112) of an airfoil section (111). In one embodiment of the invention, the fairing section (122) can have a wide portion (124) located aft of the airfoil section (111) with a single spanwise width (W1) that is greater than or equal to a spanwise width of any other portion of the fairing section (122). In another embodiment of the invention the fairing section (122) can have a first side (51) and a second side (52), each with a point of maximum curvature. At least one point of maximum curvature can be located aft of the airfoil section (111).

Systèmes de carénage (100a, 100b) de véhicules aérospatiaux et procédés associés, y compris des carénages qui logent les mécanismes d~entraînement de surface de volet sur des avions (150). Un aspect de l~invention est dirigé vers un système de carénage (100) qui comprend un carénage (120) monté sur un profil d~aile (110). Le carénage (120) peut avoir un axe longitudinal (L2) et une section de carénage (122) qui s~étend le long de l~axe longitudinal vers l~avant et vers l~arrière d~une partie de bord de fuite (112) d~une section de profil d~aile (111). Dans un mode de réalisation de l~invention, la section de carénage (122) peut avoir une partie large (124) placée vers l~arrière de la section de profil d~aile (111) avec une seule largeur d~envergure (W1) supérieure ou égale à une largeur d~envergure de n~importe quelle autre partie de la section de carénage (122). Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l~invention la section de carénage (122) peut avoir un premier côté (51) et un deuxième côté (52), chacun avec un point de courbure maximum. Au moins un point de courbure maximum peut être placé vers l~arrière de la section de profil d~aile (111).
