ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a laminar flow control aircraft structure, typically a wing or other aerodynamic surface, having an outer skin in which a plurality of spanwise oriented and chordwise spaced recesses have been machined. The method includes the installation of a strip of slot assembly tape in each of said recesses, preferably with an adhesive, and the removal of an element of the tape called a cover plate to expose a spanwise slot through which boundary layer air can be drawn. Also disclosed is a slot assembly tape having a protective cover plate and a pair of sidewalls, and a laminar flow control aircraft structure, typically a wing, in which the slot assembly tape has been employed.
