1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an aerofoil having a slat mounted to extend and retract relative to the aerofoil to increase lift especially during landing and take off of an aircraft.
2. Discussion of Prior Art
In certain aircraft, it is usual to provide a data link between the slat and the aerofoil to enable data such as pressure and temperature to be monitored. Known data links necessitate use of the usual slat mounting track to form a component of the data link. That involves complexity and considerable expense and an object of the present invention is to provide an aerofoil having a slat with an improved data link arrangement.
