An air-redirection formation for a tip portion of an aerofoil such as an aircraft wing includes: a first portion, which includes a first surface which forms a continuation of the aerodynamic lifting surface of the wing, and which is for directing vortices away from the aerofoil; and a second portion, which is spaced from the first portion and which is positioned to generate uplift due to the directed vortices.
