An aircraft wing assembly and a method of operating an aircraft wing assembly, the assembly comprising a main wing element with a leading edge; a slat on the leading edge of the main wing element; and a seal member. The seal member is mounted to the main wing element and has an outer surface which lies substantially flush with the outer surface of the fixed leading edge when in a retracted position. The assembly is placed in a first configuration during take off in which the slat is in a deployed position with a slot between the slat and the main wing element, and the seal member is in a deployed position in which it seals the slot. During cruise both the slat and the seal member are retracted. During landing the slat is deployed fully with a slot between the slat and the main wing element, but the seal member is kept in its retracted position so that the slot remains open.
