Abstract
A laminar flow control surface having a foraminous section (also referred to below as a foraminous portion,) of a skin () of a vehicle to permit low temperature fluid to flow through the foraminous section to a heat exchanger (), to reduce drag of the vehicle and to dissipate heat from the heat exchanger. The foraminous section () and the heat exchanger () synergistically reduce drag and transfer heat from the heat exchanger. The vehicle may be an aircraft with a laminar flow control system including a foraminous portion on a leading edge of the aircraft. While the aircraft is in flight, a portion of air impinging near the foraminous portion may flow laminarly about the leading edge, and another portion of the impingingair may flow through the foraminous portion to a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the heat exchanger to the air.
