2. Leading-edge extension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_extension

   A leading-edge slat is an aerodynamic surface running spanwise just ahead of the wing leading edge. It creates a leading edge slot between the slat and wing which directs air over the wing surface, helping to maintain smooth airflow at low speeds and high angles of attack.

3. Leading-edge slat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_slat

   A slat is deployed by sliding forward, opening a slot between the wing and the slat. Air from below the slat flows through the slot and replaces the boundary layer that has travelled at high speed around the leading edge of the slat, losing a significant amount of its kinetic energy due to skin friction drag.

4. Leading-edge slot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_slot

   Similar, but retractable, leading-edge devices are called slats. [4] When the slat opens, it creates a slot between the slat and the remainder of the wing; retracted, the drag is reduced. A fixed leading-edge slot can increase the maximum lift coefficient of an airfoil section by 40%. In conjunction with a slat, the increase in maximum lift ...

5. Leading-edge droop flap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_droop_flap

   Droop flaps function with other high-lift devices on an aircraft to increase the camber of the wing and reduce the stalling speed.On the Airbus A380, the first stage of lift device selection deploys the droop flaps (called droop noses by Airbus) and leading-edge slats located further out on the wing; with the main flaps starting to extend when the second stage is selected.

6. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

   Leading edge slats are also extended, on the left. A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight. Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft. Flaps are used to reduce the take-off distance and the landing distance.
