A main aircraft wing slat assembly comprising a slat and two elongate slat tracks. A drive arrangement drivingly engages the two slat tracks and effects parallel synchronous movement of the slat tracks between retracted and extended positions. The connection between the slat and one or both slat tracks is realized by an interconnection portion extending between at least part of the slat and at least part of the respective slat track. The interconnection portion is elastically deformable and constructed such that a first stiffness against deformation about a first axis, 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 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.
