Abstract
A wing may include a flexible leading edge skin segment having segment ends positioned adjacent to upper and lower leading edge wing skins to form a skin assembly. The upper leading edge wing skin may be positioned between the leading edge skin segment and an upper main wing skin. The lower leading edge wing skin may be positioned between the leading edge skin segment and a lower main wing skin. The wing may include a deployment device configured to flex the upper and lower leading edge wing skins thereby causing the leading edge skin segment to exhibit a rolling motion.
