A landing gear noise attenuator mitigates noise generated by airframe
deployable landing gear. The noise attenuator can have a first position
when the landing gear is in its deployed or down position, and a second
position when the landing gear is in its up or stowed position. The noise
attenuator may be an inflatable fairing that does not compromise limited
space constraints associated with landing gear retraction and stowage. A
truck fairing mounted under a truck beam can have a compliant edge to
allow for non-destructive impingement of a deflected fire during certain
conditions.
