A system and method to enable natural laminar flow over a fluid-dynamic body using a variable camber Krueger flap is disclosed. A sequence of flap positions is deployed where the variable camber Krueger flap is below and aft of the wing leading edge before reaching a configured takeoff and landing position. The variable camber Krueger flap is positioned in a high position relative to a wing leading edge when the variable camber Krueger flap is fully deployed.
