slatlike

1. Resembling or characteristic of a slat.

   “Five ferocious-looking slatlike bristles project from the arc's rounded edge at back, and midway down the straight front edge hangs a sort of cabin, its long overhang roof giving it the shape of a beak.”

   “One minute into the flight, the captain asks the first officer to raise the flaps — slatlike extensions that extend below the trailing edge of the wing to provide extra lift at low speeds — and he does so. As the flaps slide back under the wing, the plane is now in the state that MCAS was designed for.”
