Slats are used to reconfigure the wing in a high speed, or high angle-of-attack maneuover. When the units of angle of attack increase, the wing chord decreases. Slats compensate for this occurance.

What material is used to consturct the aileron the flaps and the slats of an aircraft?
It depends on the general construction of the aircraft. Commonly used material are: aluminum, wood, cloth, and fiberglass. BTW, what are slats??
How can a wings lift be increased?
Lift can be increased by curving the wing downward. Most aircraft have 'flaps' at the rear inner edge of the wing to achieve this. Some aircraft even have 'slats' at the front of the wing to increase lift even more. - If you google 'aircraft slats', you will see a great picture of slats and flaps on an Airbus A310
What are the purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?
Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.
What is the Parts of Aircraft?
There are numerous parts on an aircraft. Each one has a specific purpose. Turbine engines generate the thrust while the wings generate lift. Other parts include the cockpit, fuselage, and slats.
What is function of TE flap in aircraft?
The function of flaps and slats on a plane are simple but important. While landing and taking off the flaps are down so the plane lift increase and the plane can maintain flight with lower air speeds. While cruse altitude flaps are in to reduce drag, safe fuel and the chance to speed up.
What is the function of aircraft propeller?
To "propel" the aircraft through the air.
What are the four aircraft control surfaces on an airplanes?
1. Ailerons for Bank 2. Elevator for Pitch 3. Rudder for Yaw 4. Flaps for added lift (Also Slats, in front of the Wing on some aircraft)
What is a wilga?
The Wilga is a very unique STOL aircraft which can land and take off in very short distances. The leading edge slats and the unique wing design of this aircraft enable it to fly as slow as 35 knots, and the aircraft will not stall. For pictures go to http://www.thaiflyingclub.com/linkwilga.html
How are flaps and slats numbered?
In order to designate components by their position on the aircraft, the general rule of thumb is to number them from Left(or Port) to Right(Starboard). This is true for Engines, flaps, slats. This usually does not apply to Fuel Tanks which are usually designated by Left Outboard or Right Inboard, etc.
When was Slats Long born?
Slats Long was born in 1906.
When did Slats Long die?
Slats Long died in 1964.
What is a blind with horizontal slats?
