A rotorcraft having an aerodynamic device arranged below a rotor, which rotor participates at least in providing lift for the rotorcraft, the rotor being mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation, the aerodynamic device having a fairing provided with at least one air inlet for enabling a stream of cool air to flow from a region that is situated outside the rotorcraft to another region that is situated inside, the air inlet being delimited by an outer peripheral portion of the fairing. In accordance with the invention, the aerodynamic device has a perforated plate provided with at least one perforation, the perforation being suitable for allowing the stream of cool air to pass through it, the perforated plate having at least one main portion shaped to match an outer shape of the outer peripheral portion of said fairing.
A rotorcraft comprising an aerodynamic device arranged below a rotor, which rotor participates at least in providing lift for the rotorcraft in the air, the rotor being mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation, the aerodynamic device comprising a fairing provided with at least one air inlet for enabling a stream of cool air to flow from a region that is situated outside the rotorcraft to another region that is situated inside the rotorcraft, the at least one air inlet being delimited by an outer peripheral portion of the fairing;
