Abstract

Disclosed is an arrangement for coupling a fairing panel to an engine casing. The arrangement includes a pair of rigid brackets having a specific stiffness, wherein the pair of rigid brackets couple a first side of the fairing panel to a first side of the engine casing. The arrangement further includes a pair of flexible brackets comprising a first flexible bracket having a first stiffness and a second flexible bracket having a second stiffness more than the first stiffness. Moreover, the first stiffness and the second stiffness are less than the specific stiffness of the pair of rigid brackets. Furthermore, the pair of flexible brackets couple a second side opposite to the first side of the fairing panel to a second side opposite to the first side of the engine casing.
