Development of Advanced High Lift Leading Edge Technology for fixed slot leading edge On aircraft with high wing loadings and powerful flap systems, such as airliners and some business jets, leading edge devices are used to keep fixed slot This invention relates to leading edge arrangements for aircraft in which a slat provided forwardly of a fixed wing portion is movable
