The streamlined shape of the fairing (3) is shaped longitudinally like a drop of water that is truncated in its rear portion. The truncated portion (6) of the waterdrop-shaped profile of the fairing (3) forms the rear wall of the fairing (3) and is provided with a transversely middle hump (7). Said hump (7) is provided with projections in relief (9) arranged as waves in a longitudinal succession extending along the side walls of the fairing (3), and the truncated portion (6) is arranged in a plane sloping towards the rear of the rotorcraft.
202 COUNTER-ROTATING ROTOR SYSTEM WITH FAIRING US14073301 2013-11-06 US20150122941A1 2015-05-07 Matthew Harrigan
A coaxial, dual rotor system for an aircraft includes a first rotor assembly located at a rotor axis and a second rotor assembly located at the rotor axis. An aerodynamic fairing is positioned between the first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly along the rotor axis.

203 Fresh air inlet for an aircraft US12994911 2009-05-27 US08973867B2 2015-03-10 Johannes Eichholz; Jens Beier; Alexander Solntsev; Ruediger Schmidt
A fresh air inlet for an aircraft features a ram air inlet with a ram air inlet opening, a secondary air inlet opening separate from the ram air inlet and a movably mounted flap. The flap can be moved into a first or second position, and essentially covers the secondary air inlet opening in the first position and at least partially opens the secondary air inlet opening and extends away from the aircraft body in the second position to shield the ram air inlet opening from foreign matter in the air. The secondary air inlet reduces the pressure loss of the air inlet on the ground or during flight phases with relatively slow speed due to the enlarged cross-sectional surface. The ram air inlet can be optimized for cruising phases, and the energy expenditure for any downstream compressors and flow-induced noises can be considerably reduced.
