Mounting assembly for movable fairing

A panel mounting system, comprising:

• a panel mount including a plurality of faring mount latches configured to be mounted on a panel;
• a stationary part mount including a plurality of stationary part mount latches configured to be mounted on a stationary part;
• linkage interconnecting the panel mount and the stationary part mount, the linkage including first and second pairs of bars defining first and second pivot axes and at least one swing arm interconnecting the bars of the first and second pairs of bars;
• an actuator configured to selectively latch two of the panel mount latches about the second pair of bars to form a first pair of movable pivots and selectively latch two of the stationary part mount latches about the first pair of bars to form a first pair of fixed pivots, and configured to selectively unlatch the remaining mount latches,
• wherein the panel is permitted to swing away from the stationary part about the fixed pivots.

A vehicle, comprising:

• a first fairing supported by a vehicle frame;
• a second fairing positioned adjacent the first fairing;
• and
• a second fairing mounting system including a first mount mounted on the second fairing, a second mount mounted to the vehicle frame, and at least one swing arm interconnecting the first mount and the second mount, wherein the second fairing mounting system is configured to support the second fairing in a stationary position with respect to the first fairing, to permit movement of the second fairing simultaneously in both a forwardly direction and a laterally outwardly direction with respect to the first fairing, and to permit movement of the second fairing simultaneously in both a rearwardly direction and a laterally outwardly direction with respect to the first fairing, and
• an actuator having a fairing latched position and first and second fairing unlatched positions.
