A nozzle structure for a web-drying apparatus, in which a web is supported between upper and lower pressurized airflows, is provided by a plurality of airflow passageways arranged in a honeycomb configuration, each passageway being supplied through a supply orifice of smaller cross section than the cross section of the passageway, and with the honeycomb providing multiple transverse rows in juxtaposition so as to provide an elongated layer of air between the nozzle and the web which operates to prevent contact between the web and the nozzle during high-speed transport through the drier.
