An aircraft wing (1) comprises a leading-edge slat (5), the slat including a main body portion (7) and a slat extension (9) arranged at a spanwise end of the main body portion (7). The cross-sectional area of the slat extension (9) is less than the cross-sectional area of the main body portion (7). The slat extension may therefore provide some of the aerodynamic benefits of the slat, whilst enabling the volume of the leading-edge of the wing (1) on which the slat (5) is mounted, to be relatively large. The chord and thickness to chord ratio of the slat extension may be less than the equivalent dimensions on the slat.
Aile (1) d'aéronef comprenant un bec de bord d'attaque (5), lequel bec comporte un corps principal (7) et une extension (9) de bec disposée à une extrémité d'envergure du corps principal (7). La section transversale de l'extension (9) de bec est moins importante que la section transversale du corps principal (7). L'extension de bec peut ainsi conférer au bec quelques effets aérodynamiques avantageux, tout en autorisant un volume relativement important de bord d'attaque de l'aile (1) sur laquelle le bec (5) est monté. La corde et l'épaisseur relative de l'extension de bec peuvent être inférieures aux dimensions équivalentes du bec seul.
