Duct stringers for aircraft wing boxes. The duct stringer comprises a base, a pair of sidewalls projecting from the base in a spaced-apart relationship, and a cap wall that extends between and interconnects the pair of sidewalls, with the cap wall being positioned spaced apart from the base by the pair of sidewalls. The duct stringer further comprises an ovaloid vent formed in the cap wall. The ovaloid vent comprises a perimeter that circumscribes an aperture and that defines a closed shape. The perimeter comprises a pair of curved end regions opposed to one another and that each arc at least substantially through 180 degrees. Each curved end region comprises a non-uniform radius of curvature.
