Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft wing ( 12 ) comprising a structural member ( 20 ) forming the wing's leading edge skin, a Kreuger flap ( 16 ) which moves relative to the structural member ( 20 ) between a stowed position and a deployed position, and an electrothermal device ( 34 ) mounted (e.g., internally mounted) to the structural member ( 20 ). An aft portion ( 30 ) of the structural member ( 20 ) is curved inwardly to form a recess ( 32 ), and a fore portion ( 18 ) of the flap ( 16 ) fits within the notch ( 32 ) to form a joggle therebetween. The electrothermal device ( 34 ) is a deicing and/or anti-icing device which continuously provides heat to the curved aft portion ( 30 ) of the structural member ( 20 ) during icing conditions so as to prevent deployment-inhibiting ice buildup on the flap ( 16 ).
