Zusammenfassung:A slat (50) for an aircraft wing comprises a leading edge (51) defining a leading edge line (61), a trailing edge (52) defining a trailing edge line (62), the leading and trailing edges line defining a slat plane, the chord distance (69) extending normal to the leading edge and measured along the slat plane; an inboard edge extending between the leading and trailing edges; and an outboard edge (56) extending between the leading and trailing edges. The outboard edge comprises a first side portion having a projection on the plane defining a first side line (63), and a second side portion having a projection on the plane defining a second side line (64), the second side line being disposed at a first angle to the first side line and at a second angle to the leading edge line as it extends toward the inboard and trailing edges. A wing assembly and an aircraft including the slat are also disclosed.
