An aircraft design using an air intake structure (10) for reducing drag and assisting aerodynamic control surfaces in controlling the aircraft. The air intake structure comprises an outer skin (20) including a plurality of perforations (42), a plurality of closing plates (14) for covering corresponding perforations (42) and an actuator operatively connected to the plurality of closing plates (14). The outer skin (20) creates a chamber between the outer skin and a fuselage of the aircraft and extends to cover engines of the aircraft and adapted to restrict airflow into the engines. The plurality of closing is movable between a closed position covering the corresponding perforations (42) and, an open position, uncovering the corresponding perforations (42). The actuator is used for positioning the plurality of closing plates between the closed position and the open position. The aircraft design also includes a wing for minimizing an airfoil boundary layer separation and de-icing a leading edge of the wing. |
