PERFORATED SURFACE FOR SUCTION-TYPE LAMINAR FLOW CONTROL

摘要

An apparatus is provided for promoting laminar flow. The apparatus includes a panel 18 extending between an interior surface 22 and an exterior air flow surface 24. The panel 18 includes a plurality of macro apertures 28 and a plurality of micro apertures 26. A first one of the macro apertures 28 extends into the panel 18 from the interior surface 22. A first one of the micro apertures 26 extends into the panel 18 from the exterior air flow surface 24 and is fluidly coupled with the first one of the macro apertures 28.
