Abstract:
An aircraft wing includes a main wing having an outer skin defining an interior space of the main wing, a slat, and a connection assembly for movably connecting the slat to the main wing, such that the slat is movable in a predefined motion between a retracted position and at least one extended position. The assembly includes an elongate guide arranged within the interior space, a bearing at least partly arranged outside the interior space, an elongate slat track with a first end section connected to the slat and a second end section movably and rotatable connected to the guide, such that the second end section is movable along a predefined pathway defined by the guide while being connected to the main wing. An intermediate section of the slat track is movably and rotatably supported on the main wing, such that the guide and the bearing support the predefined motion.
