An active laminar flow control arrangement may comprise an outer skin (312) having an inner surface (314), an outer surface (313), and a perforated area (390), and a panel coupled to the inner surface (314). The panel may comprise a longitudinal wall (334), a sidewall (336) extending from the longitudinal wall (334), a ridge intersecting the sidewall (336), a cavity disposed (322,324) in the panel and at least partially defined by the sidewall (336) and the longitudinal wall (334), and a division wall (328) disposed in the cavity (322,324) and extending from the longitudinal wall (334), wherein the division wall (328) divides the cavity (322,324) into a first plenum (340a) and a second plenum (340b). The longitudinal wall (334), the sidewall (336), the ridge (332), and the division wall (328) may comprise a single, monolithic piece.
