(n) :
a thin, narrow strip or bar of wood or metal; as, the slats of a window blind; (aeronautical) A moveable control surface at the leading edge of a wing that when moved, changes the chord line of the airfoil, affecting the angle of attack. Employed in conjunction with flaps to allow for a lower stallspeed in the landing attitude, facilitating slow flight
(v) :
to construct or provide with at least one slat
