An aerodynamic body operable to both promote laminar flow and satisfy structural requirements is disclosed. A perforated (812) panel skin comprises an inner surface and an outer surface of the aerodynamic body. At least one hollow member (818) is coupled to the inner surface and is operable to suction air from the outer surface and through the perforated panel skin. The at least one hollow member is oriented in a substantially chord-wise direction relative to an airflow over the aerodynamic body. |
