An aircraft wing 102 comprises a leading edge slat 110 and a fixed aerofoil portion 104. The leading edge slat is moveable between a stowed position and deployed position. ln the deployed position a trailing edge of the leading edge slat comprises a sealed portion 112 and an unsealed portion 114. The sealed portion forms a seal with the fixed aerofoil portion and the unsealed portion provides an airflow gap between the leading edge flap and the fixed aerofoil portion. The invention provides substantially the same benefits as a sealed leading edge slat whilst improving stall control behaviour in local zones around the unsealed portion.
