An aerodynamic structure including a structural torsion box; a leading edge part fixed to a front side of the torsion box; an air inlet provided on a surface of the leading edge part; and a spanwise extending duct. The air inlet is provided at a first spanwise location, and is for enabling air to flow into an interior of the aerodynamic structure. The duct fluidly connects the air inlet to an air outlet which is spaced apart from the air inlet along a spanwise direction. The duct is within the torsion box.
