Abstract
An aircraft wing slat is formed from composite materials using lay-up and vacuum bagging techniques. The slat lay-up comprises a central honeycomb core sandwiched between upper and lower composite skins, a pre-cured spar and pre-cured stiffeners. After the lay-up is cured and removed from a lay-up mold, leading edge strengthening ribs and a preformed composite nose skin are installed to complete the slat.
