Slats
Slats are leading edge flaps (where as normal flaps are on the trailing edge of the wing) and have the effect of increasing camber, lift and wing area thus reducing stall speeds.
Slats
Slats are used on the leading edge of a wing to improve lift. They help the formation of a smooth boundary layer over the leading edge allowing the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack before seperation occurs.

Slats are auxiliary airfoils fitted to the leading edge of the wing. At high angles of attack, they automatically move out ahead of the wing.
Slats Moveable surfaces on the leading edge of the wing that help airflow in low-speed flight. They enable the wing to fly at lower airspeeds than without them by directing the airflow over the wing and preventing separation of the airflow.
SLATS - Movable vanes or auxiliary airfoils, usually set along the leading edge of a wing but able to be lifted away at certain angles of attack.
Slats
Special surfaces attached to or actually part of the leading edge of the wing. During takeoff and landing, they are extended to produce extra lift.
Slats.
A control surface on fixed-wing aircraft, usually mounted to the aft edge of the wings, that extends the wing to provide added lift at low speeds; Compare: flaps; Symbols: delta sub S; Typical Units: rad, deg; ...
Slats and Trailing Edge Flaps
Hinged portion of the trailing edge between the ailerons and fuselage. In some aircraft, ailerons and flaps are interconnected to produce full-span 'flaperons.' In either case, flaps change the lift and drag on the wing.
Leading edge slats prevent the stall up to approximately 30 degrees incidence (angle of attack) by picking up a lot of air from below, where the slot is large (Figure 3), ...
clean - flaps, slats and undercarriage retracted and on military aircraft no external missliles etc.
Slats The slats move out from the front of the wings to make the wing space larger. This helps to increase the lifting force of the wing at slower speeds like takeoff and landing.
Flaps and Slats Flaps and Slats are parts of the wing which are used during take off and landing to increase lift and drag.
Elevators Elevators are control surfaces connected to the horizontal stabilizer and are used to pitch the aircraft.

SLATS Small, aerodynamic surfaces on the leading edge of the wings of fixed aircraft which, when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack.
Even retracting the slats would not increase the cruise very much. The apparatus needed to make this change work are complicated and heavy and, above all, would require an additional control.
Flaps are hinged surfaces that are usually located on the trailing edge of the wings on fixed-wing aircraft and are used for various purposes. Flaps that are located on the leading edge of the wings are known as slats and/or Krueger flaps.
The primary flight controls are the wheel, yoke, cyclic, pedals, throttle, and collective. Secondary flight controls are flight controls that are not primary and include the flaps, slats, stabilizer, and landing gear.
