When slats are open on a wing, they increase the wing's maximum lift coefficient by allowing for smoother airflow over the wing at higher angles of attack. This modification effectively raises the stalling angle, meaning the wing can reach a higher angle of attack before stalling. Consequently, the stalling speed is also decreased, allowing the aircraft to maintain controlled flight at lower speeds without experiencing a stall. Overall, slats enhance the wing's performance during critical phases of flight, such as takeoff and landing.
