A wing-to-body fairing on an aircraft having a fuselage, wing, and a wing root fairing. The wing-to-body fairing includes forward and trailing edges. The forward edge is configured for positioning adjacent a first predetermined location of an aft portion of the wing root fairing. The trailing edge is configured for positioning adjacent a second predetermined location of the aft portion of the fuselage. A convex-shaped forward portion of the fairing is configured to conform to the aft portion of the wing root fairing at the first predetermined location. A concave-shaped aft portion of the fairing is configured to conform to the aft portion of the fuselage at the second predetermined location. An exterior surface of the wing-to-body fairing is gradient optimized to minimize curvature, where the fairing trailing edge is configured with matching angles and contours as the aft portion of the fuselage at the second location.
