Abstract
Integrated slat chine apparatus and methods are described. An example method comprises moving a slat relative to an airfoil between a stowed position and a deployed position. The slat is coupled to the airfoil. The slat is located adjacent a lateral surface of a chine. The chine is coupled to the airfoil. The slat is to expose the lateral surface of the chine when the slat is in the deployed position and to cover the lateral surface of the chine when the slat is in the stowed position.
