An aircraft wing comprising a load transfer apparatus arranged to transfer transverse shear loads from a first component such as a wing skin to a second, adjacent component such as a wing skin. The apparatus comprises a master interlock, and a plurality of slave interlocks. Each master interlock comprises a master male member received in a master female member to form the master interlock. Each of the plurality of slave interlocks comprises a slave male member received in a corresponding female member to form the slave interlocks. The master male and female members are sufficiently stiff that the master male member and the master female member are fixed, whereas the slave male and/or female members are less stiff than the master male and female members such that the slave male and/or female members are able to tolerate some movement, in the transverse direction.
