An aircraft wing system and method comprising: an aircraft wing (102) including upper and lower surfaces, and a leading edge between the upper and lower surfaces; a fairing (200) coupled to the leading edge; and actuation means configured to move the fairing (200) relative to the aircraft wing (102) between a stowed position, a first deployed position, and a second deployed position. The stowed position is when the fairing (200) is in contact with the aircraft wing (102) and serves as a continuation of the aircraft wing (102). The first deployed position is when the fairing (200) is in contact with the aircraft wing (102) and located below the stowed position. The second deployed position is when the fairing (200) is spaced apart from the leading edge to create a gap (402, 500) between the fairing (200) and the leading edge.
