Abstract
A cooler assembly disposed in and cooled by an air stream according to one embodiment includes a cooler matrix and a fairing. The fairing assembly is disposed generally around the cooler matrix and includes side fairing-housings, first and second side fairing-housings being joined to one another at respective leading and trailing edges, the leading edges partially defining a cooler inlet and the trailing edges partially defining a cooler outlet, the first and second side fairing-housing trailing edges angled transversely toward each other to define a trapezoidal shape for the outlet.
