Claim 0:
1. A production arrangement for producing a laminar flow surface between a plurality of profile elements, the production arrangement further comprising:
a plurality of aerodynamic profile elements forming a joint portion therebetween, the plurality of aerodynamic profile elements comprising a first aerodynamic profile element and a second aerodynamic profile element wherein a transition region is located between the first and second aerodynamic profile elements and configured to allow a laminar fluid flow flowing from the first aerodynamic profile element via the transition region to the second aerodynamic profile element,
a free-flowing or pasty sealant arranged on the joint portion, and
a pressure plate arrangement configured for pressing the free-flowing or pasty sealant within the joint portion, the pressure plate arrangement comprising a pressure plate body and at least one cover strip between pressure plate body and the free-flowing or pasty sealant, the pressure plate body having an outlet region which is configured to allow the free-flowing or pasty sealant to exit during pressing thereof and a plurality of supporting projections located on a common side of the transition region, the plurality of supporting projections support the pressure plate body against one of the first or second aerodynamic profile elements, wherein the supporting projections are arranged spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the pressure plate body extending parallel to a length of the transition region and delimit outlet gaps of the outlet region between the adjacent supporting projections of the plurality of supporting projections.
