    Abstract: An aircraft wing (3) comprising an aerofoil structure (5) is disclosed. The aerofoil structure (5) comprises a load-carrying member (10) having stiffness properties selected such that the load-carrying member (10) twists in a predefined manner in response to bending of the load-carrying member (10). The aerofoil structure (5) further comprises an actuator (15A, 15B) which is fixedly mounted to the load-carrying member (10) and which is operable to bend the load-carrying member (10) to thereby cause the load-carrying member (10) to twist. An aircraft comprising the aircraft wing and a method of adjusting the twist in an aircraft wing are also disclosed.
