Abstract

A method for producing a smooth aerodynamic surface of an aircraft component is depicted and described. The method includes: provision of an aircraft component with an aerodynamic surface, which has an uneven section, introduction of a liquid or viscous, uncured sealing compound into the uneven section, introduction of a solid, precured sealing body into the uneven section in such a way that the sealing body presses into the sealing compound until the sealing compound at least partially surrounds the sealing body, curing of the sealing compound.
