An aircraft wing slat (20) is formed from composite materials using lay-up and vacuum bagging techniques. The slat lay-up comprises a central honeycomb core (26) sandwiched between upper (22) and lower (24) composite skins, a pre-cured spar (28) and pre-cured stiffeners (30). After the lay-up is cured and removed from a lay-up mold, leading edge strengthening ribs (32) and a preformed composite nose skin (40) are installed to complete the slat.
