An aircraft wing structure comprises first and second unitary shell structures 7, 8, preferably formed from a fibre-reinforced composite material. Each shell structure 7, 8 comprises a partial front spar, a partial rear spar and a wing skin. The partial front spars of each shell structure and the partial rear spars of each shell structure are arranged to overlap to form front and rear spars respectively. A wing box structure 6 constructed according to the invention is lightweight, strong and durable, with a lower overall part count than has been conventionally achievable. Aircraft systems equipment may be attached to the shell structures 7, 8 prior to, or after, assembly into a wing box.
