leading-edge slats

The new wing also had extensive leading-edge slats and trailing-edge flaps.

Some of the aircraft had Potez-designed leading-edge slats.

The wings had leading-edge slats, Fowler flaps and ailerons on the trailing edge.

The design was also fitted with Handley-Page wing slots(actually, leading-edge slats).

In 1918, Lachmann presented a patent for leading-edge slats in Germany.

Fully automatic full-span, leading-edge slats were fitted along with high-lift flaps.

However, four of the eight leading-edge slats automatically deply when the first notch of flaps is selected.

The landing gear was up, but he had flaps and leading-edge slats deployed to make the relatively slow, low-altitude pass safer.

Simultaneously, the lift was augmented by leading-edge slats drooping by 25 and inboard flaps extending to 30 .

Differed from I-26 in having an all-metal fuselage and tail and automatic, leading-edge slats on slightly smaller and reshaped wings.

In quick succession she activated wingtip fences and leading-edge slats, dropped the first increment of flaps, and armed hover blasters.

The aircraft was equipped with the proven ASh-82FN engine and the laminar flow wing was perfected, eliminating the need for leading-edge slats.

The innovative wings, swept at 35 and with 6 anhedral, were equipped with variable incidence, leading-edge slats, full-width flaps and spoilers instead of ailerons.

Lockheed Martin supplies the aft fuselage, leading-edge slats, stores management system, a large portion of wing boxes (as part of two-way technology transfer agreements), and other components.

The prototypes were heavily modified with fixed leading-edge slats, slots added in the trailing-edge flaps, alterations to the ailerons and slats added to the tailplane roots.

A progressive development of the P.W.S.5 fitted with Handley Page automatic leading-edge slats, higher aspect ratio wings, full span flaperons on the lower wing (upper wing ailerons removed).

Because of the low production level, based on the number of Peregrines available, no redesign of the wing was contemplated, although Westland did test the effectiveness of leading-edge slats to reduce speeds.

The aircraft, originally a Mk.5, was given an Orenda 14 engine and wings with leading-edge slats, making it closer to a Mk.6, and has been painted in the colours of the Golden Hawks.

Since it's obvious that leading-edge slats are a no-no at Mach 0.80, part of the unofficial procedure is to pop the circuit breaker for the slats so that they'll stay put during the flap extension.

The Chicago accident also highlighted a major deficiency in the DC-10 design; its lack of a locking mechanism to maintain the position of the leading-edge slats in the event of a hydraulic or pneumatic failure.

There are a number of different combinations of proper takeoff settings for the flaps, which are at the rear of the wings, and the leading-edge slats at the front of the wing, Mr. Conlon said.

In conjunction with the leading-edge slats, 74% of the trailing edge incorporates high lift slotted flaps, together with interrupter blades atop each wing when roll control is lost at very low airspeed, allows for a tight turning radius.

Aircraft designed by the Messerschmitt company employed leading-edge slats as a general rule, except for the Alexander Lippisch-designed Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket fighter, which used fixed slots in the wing panel's outer leading edges instead.

Later a D.H.4 was modified as a monoplane with a large wing fitted with full span leading edge and back ailerons (i.e. what would later be called flaps) that could be deployed in conjunction with the leading-edge slats to test improved low speed performance.
