Abstract: A leading edge structure (1) for a flow control system of an aircraft (101) including a double-walled leading edge panel (3) surrounding a plenum (7). The leading edge panel (3) has a first side portion (11) extending to a first attachment end (17), a second side portion (13) extending to a second attachment end (19), an inner wall element (21) facing the plenum (7), an outer wall element (23) for contact with an ambient flow (25), a core assembly (97). The outer wall element (23) includes micro pores (31) forming a fluid connection between the core assembly (97) and the ambient flow (25). The inner wall element (21) includes openings (33) forming a fluid connection between the core assembly (97) and the plenum (7). The outer wall element (23) extends from the first attachment end (17) to the second attachment end (19).

The outer wall element (23) includes micro pores (31) and the inner wall element (21) includes openings (33) which form a fluid connection from ambient flow, through the core assembly (97) and to the plenum (7). The thickness of the outer wall element is reduced due to the first attachment end (17) and/or at the second attachment end (19) attached to the inner wall element (21) by both bonding and fasteners (85, 87, 89, 91).

Abstract: A method is provided for building a module interactively that includes defining an environment by selecting, from a field catalog, input data structures for the module. The method also includes selecting at least one processing step to be performed by the module and relating the at least one processing step to the input data structures. The method may further include selecting, from the field catalog, output data structures for the module. A system is provided for building a module that includes an arrangement adapted to select an environment for the module, an arrangement adapted to define input data structures for the environment by selecting from a field catalog, an arrangement adapted to select process steps to be performed by the module, and an arrangement adapted to associate the input data structures with the process steps to form the module. A method is provided of editing a module. A module building tool adapted to allow a user to perform a method is provided.
