Abstract
An aerodynamic fairing including at least one sub-assembly, each sub-assembly having a frame which is orientated transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the fairing and a floor portion which is provided with an inner face, via which the floor portion is fixed to the frame. The fairing further comprises lateral panels which are fixed to the frame and which each extend substantially along the longitudinal axis of the fairing at one side and the other of a plane of symmetry of the fairing. The floor portions of the sub-assemblies are not mechanically connected to each other via rigid connections. The division of the floor into separate portions allows a reduction in the longitudinal thermomechanical stresses applied by the expansion of the floor under the action of the primary hot flow of the turbo reactor.
