What is the section of the fuselage below the wings called? Is there a specific name for the protruding section of fuselage beneath the wings? Im talking about the area where the landing gear bay often is. In the photo it's where the red Emirates logo is painted.

Some older airliners don't have them, such as the A300

The outer covers at-least, are called wing to body fairings in this Airbus document- 'Airbus Future Composite Wing'.

Elsewhere, the covers are called belly fairings by the manufacturers themselves, and also in the US patent US 20060065784 A1- Aircraft provided with a belly fairing, and corresponding belly fairing.

Anyway, the fairings enclose the center wing box and the main landing gear wheel well.
