A leading edge slat/wing combination (100) where the slat (104) is mounted to a pair of circularly curved carrier tracks (122) positioned within the outer surface contour of the fixed wing (102). In moving from the cruise configuration to the take-off and climb configuration and thus to the fully deployed landing configuration, the slat (104) has a fixed angular orientation relative to the carrier track (122). Also, in two embodiments, the slat, in the take-off and climb configuration, forms a gap or slot with the fixed wing. The arrangement of the present invention is produced by a design technique of identifying design envelopes (209, 210, 215) for certain elements of the slat (104) and fixed wing (102), and then properly matching the configuration and movement of the components within these design envelopes to arrive at an optimized configuration where the curved carrier tracks (122) can be used while being fixedly attached to the slat (104).
