This article was moved to its present title to allow the creation of a disambiguation page at Slats as a result of too many disambiguation notes accumulating on the top of the old location. - Ahunt ( talk) 13:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Guys, there is a difference between a flap and a slat, the flap can usually be found at the trailing edge of the wing, whilst the slat is usually located at the leading edge of the wing. Most civilian airliners (except for the supersonic Concorde, including the smaller STOL, or bush type will have both, whereas in military aviation the presense of both or one of either does not usually indicates the role for which the aircraft was designed for. An example being the conventional wing strike fighter F/A-18 Hornet, it has slats as well as modified version of flaps, known as flaperons. Compare that to a delta wing Mirage III, the latter has no flaps and the lack of a horizontal stabilizer, or bettern know as tailplane, meant that flaps cannot be used, resulting in a long takeoff run and a high landing speed for the type. So to set the record straight, stop using flaps to pass off as leading edge slats. Please reword if you ever come across such errors in any aircraft article pages because it is extremely misleading. Thank you~! -- Dave1185 ( talk) 10:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I work for United airlines as a mechanic. As a point of clarification Boeing uses the term "leading edge flap" for a gapless device which is located on the inboard portion of the wing leading edge. Slat is a contraction of Slot (a gap) and Flap (camber altering part). The gapped outboard devices are still called slats. Randy

The connection between the content of this section and slats is not obvious. Slats, and their fixed relatives, slots have the specific task of delaying the stall onset as the angle of attack is increased, allowing higher CL values to be reached. It's not obvious how flexible wings do this, though it is easy to see how they might change the wing camber in a subtler way than flaps, often used in conjunction with slats. But replacing slats? It may well be possible but it needs more explanation, or a separate article. TSRL ( talk) 22:11, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

The use of the term "circulation" has no place in this article as it clarifies nothing and seems only to exist as a bloviation. Remove it. CredibleSources ( talk) 02:09, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
I believe the present article is short enough to accommodate a merge from slat selection. Pichpich ( talk) 18:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
I ran into this article in NPP and decided to redirect it here. I did not see anything worth merging, but if anyone disagrees the content is available in the article history still. You don't need my permission to merge it over. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
