Abstract
In this study, fairing configurations for an aircraft are designed and the aerodynamic analyses of the fairings are performed to find the best choice for the aircraft. Fairings considered are wing-tip fairing and wing-body fairing. Wing alone analyses are done for the wing-tip faring selection, while wing-body-tail analyses are done for the wing-body fairing selection. A 3-D RANS solver with Menter's ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model are used for the aerodynamic analyses. The effects on the drag of the aircraft are examined by comparing the analysis results with and without the farings.
