Leading edge slat for an aircraft

Abstract

The present invention proposes a leading-edge slat (6) for an aircraft (62), the leading-edge slat comprising a front skin (10), a rear skin (12), a sparsity (14), and an air inlet (16) for receiving heated air for de-icing or anti-icing. At least one air chamber is formed in the slat, the air chamber being supplied with the air. A first portion (28) of the rear skin (12) is attached to the sparsity (14) at a distance from the bottom section (20), wherein a second portion (31) of the rear skin (12) is attached to the top section (22). This forms a region in front of the fixed leading edge (2) in which air from the exhaust port (48) integrated into the rear skin (12) can be exhausted to the outside of the slat (6).
