Abstract

An aircraft structure component (1) for laminar flow including an outer skin (3) having an aerodynamic surface (5), wherein the aerodynamic surface (5) has a leading edge portion (7) and a downstream portion (11) adjacently downstream from the leading edge portion (7), wherein the downstream portion (11) of the aerodynamic surface (5) comprises a paint layer (13) or a foil layer that is not present in the leading edge portion (7), so that a border line (15) is formed between the leading edge portion (7) and the downstream portion (11) by the beginning paint layer (13) or foil layer, and wherein the outer skin (3) comprises an attachment surface (17) to which the paint layer (13) or the foil layer is attached.
