Hollow rear side of a leading edge device at a border

The rear side of the leading edge device is a smooth curve from the point where it meets the upper surface of the wing (<xsiTEUpper> or <xsiTE> of the border) over its foremost point to the point where it meets the lower surface (<xsiTELower> or <xsiTE>). The foremost point lies at the relative chordwise coordinate <xsiTE> of the component segment and at the relative height <relHeightTE> between the lower (0) and the upper (1) surface of the wing. It lies in front of the points where the rear side meets the surface of the wing, i.e. its <xsiTE> is smaller than the <xsiTE>, <xsiTEUpper> and <xsiTELower> of the border. The inner and the outer border are defined independently of each other.

Sections at the inner borders of three control surfaces: (a) a flap whose rounded leading edge passes through the nose point at relHeightLE 0.5 and meets the skin at xsiUpperSkin 0.9 and xsiLowerSkin 0.7 of the flap chord from its trailing edge; (b) a slat whose hollow rear side runs from xsiTEUpper 0.15 over the point at xsiTE 0.04 and relHeightTE 0.45 to xsiTELower 0.12; (c) a spoiler between xsiLE 0.55 and xsiTE 0.69 with the lowest point of its leading edge at relHeightLE 0.8

Figure (b) shows the hollow rear side at the inner border of the slat of the example in controlSurfacesType.
