Slots And Slats Aerodynamics 2

The flaps and slats move along metal tracks built into the wings. Moving the flaps aft (toward the tail) and the slats forward increases the wing area. Pivoting the leading edge of the slat and the trailing edge of the flap downward increases the effective camber of the airfoil, which increases the lift. Leading Edge Slats. The principle of operation of a leading-edge slat is similar to a trailing edge flap. The camber of the aerofoil is increased by drooping the leading edge downward, and a slot or gap between the slat and the parent aerofoil allows the passage of air from the lower surface to the upper surface.

I am getting confused (and I think others are)

Are they Handley-Page Slots or Handley-Page Slats

Slots are usually fixed, while Slats are automatic

Is the confusion because when a Slat extends it becomes as 'Slot'

I have a report of a Armstrong Whitworth Atlas incident in 1931 which was had a contributory feature that the 'Slots Sealed rather than with Slots Unsealed' - which indicates to me that the slot was covered in some way so as to become ineffective

I also have a report from 1930 which says ' A large proportion of accidents during 1930 occurred to aircraft used for training. These machines have their wings slots locked shut and therefore inoperative. A reduction in the number of accidents to training machines would almost certainly follow cancellation of the order that their slots are to be locked shut.' - again to disable the function

Slots locked shout to me are automatic function is disabled - I am unsure what is going on!

Atlas aircraft appear to have been fitted with Slots

You are right: the HP slats are automatic in operation and create a slot. Confusion is understandable.
