We consider aerodynamic properties of a thin-walled shell representing a model of a detachable fairing flap used in launch systems. We carried out numerical modelling of the flow around the model of a detachable fairing flap at a supersonic incident flow velocity. We obtained aerodynamic coefficients and plotted the aerodynamic properties as functions of the angle of attack.
