Undeployed, the fairing also allows the attachment of struts on the outer shell, as well as giving the payload a significant part of structural support. a Rovers wheels), protecting these parts from burning up, while a heat shield protects the main stack. However, the fairing may come in handy during atmospheric entry (especially on Eve) for payloads that have parts that protrude outside the stack and/or are less heat resistant (e.g. It is recommended that you deploy the AE-FF1 as soon as a craft exits the atmosphere rendering aerodynamic parts pointless and making the shell dead weight. Upon deploying the AE-FF1 either through the staging diagram or by using the right click menu of the fairings base, the shell will separate into small segments and break off from its base revealing the payload. It also reduces drag for blunt payloads and held to save on valuable fuel. This can be helpful for protecting payloads with delicate parts that can be easily ripped off during ascent and prevent overheating in the case of very fast craft. The size and shape of the fairing can be edited by the player to fit a specific payload. The AE-FF1 Airstream Protective Shell (1.25m) is a fairing introduced in version 1.0.
