Additively manufactured aircraft vent structures are provided with a one-piece frame which includes a substantially planar face plate defining a longitudinally elongate vent opening and a series of fixed-position vanes unitarily joined to the planar face plate which extend latitudinally across the vent opening. Each of the vanes may be curvilinear and provided such that unidirectional venting is established or may be in a V-shaped configuration of vane pairs such that multidirectional venting is established. Alternatively or additionally, the vanes may have a widthwise dimension between leading and trailing edges thereof such that the trailing edges of each vane terminally extends at least to a latitudinal plane defined by a leading edge of an immediately adjacent one of the vanes.
