An aircraft includes a wing having a longitudinal centerline axis, a leading edge, a trailing edge, thickness, and a chord, an engine having a longitudinal axis vertically aligned with the wing chord and parallel to the longitudinal centerline axis and defining a reference line, a pylon connecting the wing to the engine, and a fairing received over the pylon. The fairing defines a horizontal plane, and first and second planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the second plane being aft of the first plane. The fairing defines an aerodynamic surface configured such that the first plane intersects the horizontal plane and the aerodynamic surface at a first intersection point laterally displaced from the reference line by a first distance. The second plane intersects the horizontal plane and the aerodynamic surface at a second intersection point laterally displaced from the reference line by a second distance greater than the first distance.
