A leading edge structure for an aircraft flow control system includes a leading edge panel curvingly surrounding a plenum. The leading edge panel has a first side portion and a second side portion with an inner surface facing the plenum and an outer surface contacting an ambient flow. The leading edge panel includes a plurality of micro pores forming a fluid connection between the plenum and the ambient flow. An air outlet is arranged in the first or second side portion and is fluidly connected to the plenum for letting out air from the plenum into the ambient flow. The air outlet is formed as a fixed air outlet including an outlet panel extending in a fixed manner from the leading edge panel into the ambient flow, such that a rearward facing outlet opening is formed between the leading edge panel and a rear edge of the outlet panel.
