Fairing system for a horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and method for installing the same

Abstract

The invention relates to a fairing system for an aircraft horizontal stabiliser and to a method for installing said system, such that the fairing system for sealing the horizontal stabiliser (2) and the fuselage (1) of the aircraft includes a primary fairing (50, 51) arranged on the horizontal stabiliser (2) of the aircraft, said primary fairing (50, 51) being rigidly connected to the aforementioned horizontal stabiliser (2) which, in turn, is trimmable relative to the fuselage (1), said fairing system in turn including a secondary fairing (80, 81), such that the primary fairing (50, 51) is attached to the horizontal stabiliser (2) by means of supports (30) arranged in the direction of the chord of the primary fairing (50, 51), said supports (30) being located on the outside of said primary fairing (50, 51) relative to the fuselage (1), the secondary fairing (80, 81); being arranged on the outside of the supports (30), said secondary fairing (80, 81) being responsible for covering the aforementioned supports (30) and ensuring good aerodynamic performance of the whole. The invention also relates to a method for installing a fairing system on the horizontal stabiliser (2) of an aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fairing system for a horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft, and a method for mounting the system on the aforementioned horizontal stabilizer. Background technique [0002] In the field of aeronautics, the connection between the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and the fuselage of the aforementioned aircraft is typically covered by a fairing that covers and protects the surfaces of both, that is, between the fuselage and the horizontal stabilizer gaps and spacing. Due to the fact that the horizontal stabilizer is trimmable relative to the surface of the fuselage of the aircraft, and because of the need to provide clearance and spacing for said trimming movement, the spacing between the surfaces of both must be covered in order to avoid the There is a possible intake problem due to the gap, so this gap is covered by the fairing. [0003] Traditionally, the support system for the fairing covering the gap between the fuselag...

Problems solved by technology

In conventional fairings, this setting or adjustment is performed in several steps, using an iterative adjustment method that requires the assembly and disassembly of the fairing in repeated and iterative situations until the aforementioned adjustment of the fairing on the horizontal stabilizer of the aircraft is achieved correct positioning, which involves a time-consuming process, and which is therefore very expensive
