A leading edge slat is an aerodynamic device located on the front edge of an aircraft wing, designed to improve its performance at low speeds and during takeoff and landing. By extending the wing's camber and increasing its surface area, slats enhance lift and delay airflow separation, allowing for better control and stability. They can be fixed or movable, and their deployment increases the wing's critical angle of attack, contributing to safer flight in critical phases.

Leading Edge Group was created in 1986.
The leading edge
When you look at a plane side-on. The left-most edge of the rudder attached to the fuselage is the leading edge whilst the right-most edge of the rudder is it's trailing edge.
The leading edge refers to the front of the wing that air hits as the aircraft moves forward
Leading Edge Sports Car Company was created in 2002.
What is "slat".
The leading edge of a radar pulse determines range accuracy. The trailing edge, along with pulse width, determines minimum range.
The Leading Edge - 1987 is rated/received certificates of: West Germany:16
