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