One example of a fairing (204) for a rotorcraft includes a core material, an inner housing (216) on a side of the core material, an outer housing (214) on another side of the core material opposite the inner housing (216), and a hinge. The hinge is configured to move the fairing (204) between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the inner housing (216) is configured to receive a foot traffic load while the outer housing (214) is configured to transfer the foot traffic load to a fuselage of the rotorcraft. In the closed position, the inner housing (216) is configured to stow in a compartment (218) of the rotorcraft while the outer housing (214) is configured to provide an outer mold line of the rotorcraft in the closed position.
