An aircraft wing, a fusion bonded thermoplastic fixed leading edge structure for aircraft aerodynamic surfaces and a method of manufacture are provided. The fixed leading edge structure comprises a leading edge skin (28), one or more aerodynamic profile defining stiffening members (17, 18) spaced spanwise therewithin and a sub-spar. Each of the components are of low modulus consolidated composite material and the leading edge skin (28) is attached to the stiffening members (17, 18) and to the sub-spar by a fusion-bonding thermoplastic process.
