A slat assembly adapted to be mounted to a main wing of an aircraft and comprising: a slat having a leading edge, two elongate slat tracks, each extending along a respective plane, wherein the two planes are parallel to and spaced from each other and, of all possible planes along which the two slat tracks extend, are the planes having the maximum perpendicular distance from each other, wherein the slat tracks are connected to the slat at two locations spaced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the planes, wherein the two slat tracks are adapted to be mounted to a main wing of an aircraft such that they are selectively movable along the associated plane between a retracted position and an extended position to thereby move the slat between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a drive arrangement drivingly engaging the two slat tracks and operable to effect synchronous and parallel movement of the slat tracks between the retracted position and the extended position, wherein the connection between the slat and one or both of the slat tracks is realized by a respective interconnection portion, which extends between at least part of the slat and at least part of the respective slat track and comprises a first portion secured to or integrally formed with the slat and a second portion secured to or integrally formed with the respective slat track, which first and second portions (22a, 22b) are spaced from each other along the plane of the respective slat track, characterized in that the interconnection portion is elastically deformable and constructed in such a manner that a first stiffness against deformation about a first axis, which extends perpendicular to the planes, is at least ten times a second stiffness against deformation about a second axis, which extends perpendicularly to the first axis and between the first and second portions (22a, 22b) of the interconnection portion, and at least ten times a third stiffness against deformation about a third axis, which extends perpendicularly to the first and second axes, and such a manner that the slat assembly is thereby able to rigidly retain the slat at the main wing at a desired pitch angle whilst allowing for relative movement occurring upon skewing of the slat. a slat having a leading edge, two elongate slat tracks, each extending along a respective plane, wherein the two planes are parallel to and spaced from each other and, of all possible planes along which the two slat tracks extend, are the planes having the maximum perpendicular distance from each other, wherein the slat tracks are connected to the slat at two locations spaced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the planes, wherein the two slat tracks are adapted to be mounted to a main wing of an aircraft such that they are selectively movable along the associated plane between a retracted position and an extended position to thereby move the slat between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a drive arrangement drivingly engaging the two slat tracks and operable to effect synchronous and parallel movement of the slat tracks between the retracted position and the extended position, wherein the connection between the slat and one or both of the slat tracks is realized by a respective interconnection portion, which extends between at least part of the slat and at least part of the respective slat track and comprises a first portion secured to or integrally formed with the slat and a second portion secured to or integrally formed with the respective slat track, which first and second portions (22a, 22b) are spaced from each other along the plane of the respective slat track, characterized in that the interconnection portion is elastically deformable and constructed in such a manner that a first stiffness against deformation about a first axis, which extends perpendicular to the planes, is at least ten times a second stiffness against deformation about a second axis, which extends perpendicularly to the first axis and between the first and second portions (22a, 22b) of the interconnection portion, and at least ten times a third stiffness against deformation about a third axis, which extends perpendicularly to the first and second axes, and such a manner that the slat assembly is thereby able to rigidly retain the slat at the main wing at a desired pitch angle whilst allowing for relative movement occurring upon skewing of the slat.
