Modern aircraft wings generally have a lower surface the rear part of which is concave over at least some of its length, for additional lift. Sometimes it is desirable to reduce the wing lift, for instance during turbulence. To this end the wing 1 has, located at least partly in or forward of this concave part and forward of the trailing edge, a spoiler device such as a deployable spoiler 20 operable to change between a configuration in which the surface is uninterrupted and one in which the device separates flow, so as to reduce local lift over the concave portion. An actuator 26 can be provided for deploying the spoiler, and an upper spoiler 40 can also be present, operated by the same or a separate actuator. Alternatively the spoiler device can include a flexible or deforming material 120 operable to protrude from the wing surface.
