Been looking at slats and trying to learn more about them. When adding slats to an existing wing, do you keep the original wing area? With a fixed slat, would that include the gap or just the slats actual surface area? How would you integrate a floating slat as far as considering overall wing area? If a floating slat is used, does the shape of the leading edge change to fit the rear of the slat? How do designers determine the shape,placement, and gap distances?
