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