Abstract
The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade for a rotor of a wind turbine having a substantially horizontal rotor shaft, the rotor comprising a hub from which the blade extends in a substantially radial direction when mounted to the hub. The wind turbine blade comprises a profiled contour defining a leading edge and a trailing edge, a pressure side and a suction side connecting the leading edge and the trailing edge, the profiled contour generating a lift when being impacted by an incident air-flow, and a slat assembly located on the blade, the slat assembly comprising a slat device being supported by a support device positioning the slat device in a distance from the surface of the blade.
