Abstract
Aft fairings for aircraft pylons are disclosed. In one example, a fairing includes: two opposite side panels extending generally along a longitudinal direction of the fairing; a plurality of transverse ribs interconnecting the two opposite side panels; and a heat shield for exposure to a primary flow of an aircraft engine. The heat shield includes transversely opposed side end portions and a mid portion disposed between the transversely opposed side end portions. The heat shield is secured to the ribs via the mid portion of the heat shield. The transversely opposed side end portions are permitted to move outwardly from the mid portion due to thermal expansion of the heat shield.
