Abstract
A leading edge of a wing for an aircraft that is subject to a wide temperature range. The leading edge includes a plurality of leading edge sections arranged along the wing so as to define its leading edge. Two opposing ends of each section are removably mounted to a spar of the wing and wherein side ends of each section are slidably mounted to a T-seal so as to allow unimpeded expansion of each leading edge section into a gap defined between adjacent leading edge sections.
