WHAT DOES LEADING EDGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Leading edge

The leading edge is the part of the wing that first contacts the air; alternatively it is the foremost edge of an airfoil section. The first is an aerodynamic definition, the second a structural one. As an example of the distinction, during a tailslide, from an aerodynamic point of view, the trailing edge becomes the leading edge and vice-versa but from a structural point of view the leading edge remains unchanged. The structural leading edge may be equipped with one or more of the following: ▪ Leading edge boots ▪ Leading edge cuffs ▪ Leading edge extensions ▪ Leading edge slats ▪ Leading edge slots ▪ Krueger flaps ▪ Stall strips ▪ Vortex generators. Associated terms are leading edge radius and leading edge stagnation point. Seen in plan the leading edge may be straight or curved. A straight leading edge may be swept or unswept, the latter meaning that it is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. As wing sweep is conventionally measured at the 25% chord line an unswept wing may have a swept or tapered leading edge. Some aircraft, like the General Dynamics F-111, have swing-wings where the sweep of both wing and leading edge can be varied.
