a leading edge defining a leading edge line connecting forward-most points of the slat and extending between a wing root end and an outboard end; a trailing edge defining a trailing edge line connecting aft-most points of the slat, extending between the wing root end and the outboard end, and being disposed a chord distance from the leading edge in a hingewise direction, wherein the chord distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge extends normal to the leading edge; an inboard edge comprising
a first leg that extends from the leading edge to an intermediate point between the leading edge and the trailing edge, anda second leg that extends from the intermediate point to the trailing edge; and an outboard edge that extends from the leading edge to the trailing edge, wherein the second leg is disposed at an angle to the first leg, toward the outboard edge.
