A leading edge slat delays the stall by

  • A.Reducing the wing area exposed to the flow
  • B.Preventing any circulation from developing
  • C.Feeding high-energy air over the upper surface through the slot
  • D.Increasing the thickness of the wing section

Answer: C

Correct answer: Feeding high-energy air over the upper surface through the slot

The slot between the slat and the main element channels air from the high pressure lower surface onto the upper surface, adding momentum to the boundary layer just where it is about to give up against the adverse gradient. The energised layer resists separation to a higher incidence, so the stall is delayed and the maximum lift coefficient rises.
