the slats would pop out and give you a higher angle of attack ie.

lower the

stall speed.  I was thinking this the other night reading about

the spring

loaded  doors on the B52's.

        Lower the stall speed and increase the angle of attack ?
        How about increasing the chord and lowering the stall speed !
