LAMINAR FLOW PANEL An aerodynamic body (800) operable to both promote laminar flow and satisfy structural requirements is disclosed. A perforated panel skin (802) comprises an inner surface (910) and an outer surface (908) of the aerodynamic body (800). A micro-lattice support structure (2300) is coupled to the inner surface (910) and defines airflow gaps (2322) allowing suctioning of air (902) from the outer surface (908) through the perforated panel skin (802) and into a plenum of the aerodynamic body (800). Rows of main beams (2314) of the micro-lattice support structure (2300) are aligned along land lines (2330) oriented in a substantially chord-wise direction relative to an airflow over the aerodynamic body (800).
