Claim Text:
1. A ventilated aero-structure, comprising: a micro-lattice structure having a first side and a second side, wherein the micro-lattice structure includes a plurality of truss elements, and wherein the plurality of truss elements define a plurality of nodes at intersections of two or more truss elements; a honeycomb core operatively coupled to the first side and the second side of the micro-lattice structure, wherein the honeycomb core includes a plurality of walls that define a plurality of elongate cells; a first adherence structure formed on the first side of the micro-lattice structure, wherein the first adherence structure defines a first adherence surface that is adhered to the honeycomb core; and a second adherence structure formed on the second side of the micro-lattice structure, wherein the second adherence structure defines a second adherence surface on the second side that is adhered to the honeycomb core; wherein an interface between the honeycomb core and the micro-lattice structure is configured to permit air flow to and from the honeycomb core via the micro-lattice structure.
