Abstract

An aerodynamic aft fairing of an engine pylon ensuring the mounting of an engine underneath a wing of an aircraft is provided. The aerodynamic aft fairing includes an outer lateral panel and an inner lateral panel assembled together at least by a bottom panel, the bottom panel comprising, on either side of the lateral panels, an extension forming an aerothermic barrier capable of channeling hot air flows leaving the engine. The inner lateral panel and the outer lateral panel are attached to the bottom panel by a first angle bar and a second angle bar, respectively.
