SLATS

n. (Slang) ribs

v. equip with slats, make with slats; hurl forcefully, dash (rare); beat, strike, slap (rare)

n. thin strip of wood or metal; blow, stroke (rare)

Slats is also a nickname for Australian cricketer Michael Slater, and NHL executive Glen Sather Slats are small aerodynamic surfaces on the leading edge of the wings of fixed-wing aircraft which, when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack. Higher coefficient of Lift is produced as a product of angle of attack and speed, so by deploying slats an aircraft can fly slower or take off and land in a shorter distance. They are usually used while landing or performing maneuvers which take the aircraft close to the stall, but are usually retracted in normal flight to minimize drag.
