    Abstract: An aircraft defining a longitudinal centerline and extending between a forward end and an aft end is provided. The aircraft comprises a fuselage extending between the forward end of the aircraft and the aft end of the aircraft; a wing assembly extending laterally outwardly with respect to the longitudinal centerline from a portion of the fuselage; an unducted turbofan engine including an unducted fan that defines a plurality of fan wakes; and a pylon fairing that connects the unducted turbofan engine to the wing assembly, the pylon fairing defining a pylon fairing dihedral, wherein the pylon fairing dihedral is in a direction opposite the incoming fan flow swirl and associated sheared profiles of fan wakes upon arrival at the pylon leading edge.
