An elastomeric transition for spanning a gap between first and second surfaces on an aircraft includes an elastomeric skin. A first skin edge is configured for attachment to the first surface and a second skin edge is configured for attachment to the second surface. The elastomeric skin has a longitudinal dimension, coincident with the gap, which is significantly longer than a distance between laterally corresponding points on the first and second skin edges. At least one continuous rod is coupled at one end to a selected first point on the first surface and at another end to a selected second point, spaced apart from the first point, on the second surface. The at least one continuous rod is configured in the elastomeric transition to run along the gap such that the rod extends at an acute angle in relation to both the first and second skin edges.
