Abstract
A leading edge structure for an aircraft has an outer wall, an inner wall disposed within the outer wall and including a partition with, the outer wall, the inner wall and the partition jointly defining a hot-air chamber, and a plurality of flow-rectifying fins or disposed in the hot-air chamber and compartmentalizing the hot-air chamber into a plurality of hot-air passages. The outer wall and the flow-rectifying fins are made of a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin and joined to each other by curing. The inner wall and the partition comprise a single component which is made of a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin, and being bonded to the outer wall. Alternatively, the inner wall and the partition are separate from each other and are joined to each other.
