The invention relates to an aircraft wing panel, for example, a trailing edge upper panel which is joined to the wing skin by means of spigots which project and engage with slots. The trailing edge panel comprises at least one lip on its leading edge, the lip extending inwardly of the edge panel into the interior of the wing. The lip is provided with at least one aperture. The trailing edge of the wing skin is provided with at least one projecting member. Each of the at least one projecting member extends through and engages with one of the apertures to hold the edge panel in alignment with the wing skin. Each of the at least one aperture is a slot extending in a spanwise direction. The spanwise width of the slot is greater than the spanwise width of the corresponding projecting member, thus allowing spanwise movement of at least a portion of the edge panel relative to the wing skin. |
