Looks like a keeper

This is now much more than a simple definition. A bit more than a stub. --Colputt 01:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"slats" being considered retractable by definition

I corrected this earlier, but it seems to have been reverted. A slat is not necessarily retractable, although it often is. The definitive difference between a slot and a slat is that a slot is a notch cut out of an existing airfoil, while a slat is formed by an add-on structure outside the defined airfoil. I need to hunt down some support for this, but I recall this being the definition used in all of my aerospace engineering textbooks.

To be clear:
