A leading edge element, a method for manufacturing one, and an aircraft wing and stabilizer furnished with the leading edge element. The leading edge element is an elongate piece that comprises a skin plate and at least one longitudinal stiffener. The shape of the front edge of the skin plate is closed and the tail edge is open. The stiffener is fastened between the inner surfaces of the skin plate. Between the inner surface of the skin plate of the outermost longitudinal stiffener, there is a longitudinal space free of transverse stiffeners.

A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener is a tubular structure. 9. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener is a tubular structure, andwherein the at least one stiffener comprises a first fastening surface and a second fastening surface arrangeable against the inner surface of the skin plate and planar side walls connecting the fastening surfaces. 10. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener is a tubular structure with ends, and the ends of the tubular stiffener comprise transverse flanges, and the tubular stiffener and its end flanges form together a box-type structure. 11. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener has elongate top and bottom edges, the through-groove extends from the bottom edge of the stiffener toward the top edge, and the through-groove ends before the top edge of the stiffener. 12. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener comprises at least two stiffener components that are arranged consecutively along a length of the at least one stiffener with a gap of predetermined size between the at least two stiffener components. 13. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the skin plate and the at least one stiffener are separate components that are made in separate steps and fastened to each other when the leading edge element is assembled. 14. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the skin plate and the at least one stiffener of the leading edge element are manufactured at the same time and are integral with each other. 15. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener comprises at least one transverse flange that is fastenable to the support structure of a wing or stabilizer to transmit forces from the stiffener to the support structure. 16. A leading edge element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one stiffener is made of a composite material. 17. A method for manufacturing a leading edge element of a wing or stabilizer of an aircraft, the method comprising forming an elongated skin plate with a uniform front edge and an open tail edge,fastening at least one stiffener comprising an elongated stiffener piece between respective portions of an inner surface of the skin plate with the elongated stiffener piece is disposed with a length of the elongated stiffener piece along a length of the leading edge element, wherein the elongated stiffener piece comprises at least one transverse through-groove that extends a predefined distance along a height of the elongated stiffener piece,wherein said at least one stiffener is closer to the front edge of the leading edge element than any other stiffener in the leading edge element such that there is an elongated space defined by the inner surface of the skin plate and the at least one stiffener on the front edge of the leading edge element, said elongated space being without stiffeners. 18. A method as claimed in claim 17, comprising: manufacturing the skin plate and the at least one stiffener in separate steps, the at least one stiffener being manufactured of a composite material, andassembling the leading edge element by fastening the at least one stiffener to the inner surface of the skin plate. 19.
