A flap deployment apparatus and system for a wing of an aircraft that includes a support structure having a first aerodynamic surface. A nose fitting secures the support structure to a forward portion of an aircraft wing and an aft fitting secures the support structure to an aft portion of the wing. A carrier beam having a second aerodynamic surface is coupled to the support structure. The carrier beam is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. Links guide the carrier between the positions. The first and second aerodynamic surfaces are configured to define a continuous aerodynamic surface when the carrier beam is in the stowed position. The apparatus includes a nose fairing having a third aerodynamic and a mid fairing cover having a fourth aerodynamic surface. The third and fourth aerodynamic surfaces also defines the continuous aerodynamic surface when the carrier beam is in the stowed position.
