An aircraft and an aircraft wing assembly for an aircraft. The wing assembly includes a wing body assembly including a wing body; and at least one protruding portion connected to the wing body. The protruding portion extends aftwardly from an aft side of the wing body assembly, a leading edge of the wing body assembly defining a leading edge line, a trailing edge of the wing body assembly defining a trailing edge line extending between the inboard end and the outboard end, the trailing edge including a trailing edge of the protruding portion, the trailing edge line being a smooth line, a chord distance being defined longitudinally from the leading edge line to the trailing edge line, the chord distance at a center of the protruding portion being greater than the chord distance inboard of protruding portion and outboard of the protruding portion.

Aircraft wing assemblies

A slat () for an aircraft wing comprises a leading edge () defining a leading edge line (), a trailing edge () defining a trailing edge line (), the leading and trailing edges line defining a slat plane, the chord distance () 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 () 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 (), and a second side portion having a projection on the plane defining a second side line (), 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.

Aircraft slat including angled outboard edge

A slat for fixed-wing aircraft that includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a chord, and an inboard edge that includes particular dimensions to affect airflow over the wing.
