An aircraft aerodynamic surface includes a torsion box having an upper skin, a lower skin, and a front spar, and a leading edge having an external shell and an impact resisting structure. The external shell may be shaped with an aerodynamic leading edge profile, being configured to provide Laminar Flow Control (LFC) to the leading edge. The impact resisting structure is spanwise arranged between the external shell and the front spar, and is configured for absorbing a bird strike to prevent damage in the front spar. Also, at least one of the external shell and the impact resisting structure is fitted with the upper and lower skins of the torsion box to thereby facilitate leading edge exchange.
