A slat support and deployment apparatus comprising a master slat support and deployment assembly and a slave slat support and deployment assembly is disclosed. The master and the slave slat support and deployment assembly each include an arm having a free end attachable to the same slat at spaced locations along its length for deployment and retraction of said slat in a direction generally parallel to a wing in response to simultaneous movement of said arms. The master and the slave slat support assemblies each include a coupling for attaching said free end of each arm to a slat and the coupling that couples the free end of the arm of each slat support and deployment assembly to a slat is configured to allow movement of that slat relative to said free end of said arm of each slat support and deployment assembly during deployment and retraction of said slat.
