The invention refers to an aircraft aerodynamic surface (10) comprising a torsion box having an upper skin (11), a lower skin (12), and a front spar (9), and a leading edge (1) having an external shell (7) and an impact resisting structure (8). The external shell (7) 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 (8) is spanwise arranged between the external shell (7) and the front spar (9), and is configured for absorbing a bird strike to prevent damage in the front spar (9). Also, at least one of the external shell (7) and the impact resisting structure (8) is fitted with the upper and lower skins (11, 12) of the torsion box to thereby facilitate leading edge exchange.

The invention refers to a leading edge section (1) with laminar flow control, which comprises: a perforated outer skin (2), a perforated inner skin (3), and a plurality of suction chambers (4) formed between the outer skin and the inner skin. The leading edge section comprises a plurality of stringers (5) span-wise arranged at the leading edge section, and integrally formed with the outer skin, such as the inner skin is joined to the stringers. The invention also refers to a method for manufacturing a leading edge section integrating a laminar flow control system, wherein a perforated inner skin is joined with a perforated outer skin having a plurality of stringers (5) integrally formed with the outer skin, such as suction chambers (4) are defined by a part of the outer skin, a part of the inner skin and a pair of stringers.

The invention refers to a leading edge (1) with a laminar flow control comprising: a perforated outer skin (3), a perforated inner skin (5), and a plurality of perforated tubular members (16) span-wise arranged in the leading edge and placed between the outer and inner skins (3,5) to form suction chambers (2). The outer skin, the inner skin and the tubular members are cured together in the same curing cycle, such as the leading edge is obtained as an integral component. The invention also refers to a manufacturing method to produce a section of leading edge with laminar flow control, wherein an outer skin pre-form (13), an inner skin pre-form (14), and a plurality of tubular members pre-forms (15), are conformed separately and then assembled and cured together. Since the leading edge of the invention, can be manufactured in one-shot manufacturing time and production costs are significantly reduced.

The invention refers to the configuration of a tip structure (1) for an aircraft airfoil, such as a control surface (ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudders, etc) and/or a lifting surface (wings, HTP's, VTP's). The tip structure (1) is a unitary body and comprises a tip shell (2) and a metallic material on the outer surface of the tip shell (2) suitable to withstand a lighting strike, wherein the tip shell (2) has been obtained by a single-stage injection molding process using a thermoplastic composite material having fibers dispersed therein, and wherein the metallic material has been integrally formed with the tip shell (2). The invention provides a tip configuration that can be manufactured in one-shot process, fulfilling structural, operational and aerodynamic requirements and achieving thereby high production rates and reducing manufacturing costs.
