A slat track roller assembly is provided so as to mount a slat track operatively associated with a wing leading edge slat for movements between retracted and deployed conditions relative to a leading edge of an aircraft wing. The slat track roller assembly may include at least forward and aft pairs of roller mechanisms connected to a respective one of opposed wing ribs of the wing leading edge in operatively rolling contact with a respective opposed lateral edge of the slat track. At least one of the roller mechanisms is positionally adjustable relative to the respectively opposed lateral edge of the slat track so as to compensate for mechanical tolerances that may be present.

An aircraft wing is provided with a positionally fixed closure fairing to close a cut-out opening in the leading edge of the wing associated with a wing leading edge slat so as to direct incident airflow to the wing leading edge from a lower surface of the aircraft wing to an upper surface of the aircraft wing.
