A system for modifying the chord length of a wing 1 of an aircraft comprises a flap 10 and an actuating system configured to translate the flap 10 in a direction substantially parallel to the chord of the wing 1, between a first position and a second position, such that the wing has a first chord length when the flap 10 is in the first position, and a second different chord length when the flap 10 is in the second position. The actuating system is configured to move the flap 10 to a deployed position wherein the flap 10 is translated aft and rotated about a longitudinal axis of the flap 10, relative to the first position. The system comprises a lower shroud 20 and upper shroud 40 configured to form a substantially continuous surface between a surface 2, 3 of the wing 1 and a surface 13,14 of the flap 10 when the flap 10 is in the first position and in the second position. The upper shroud 40 is also configured to act as a spoiler.
