An aircraft wing comprising a first structure 21 connected to a second structure 22 such that the first and second structures are relatively moveable between a retracted configuration in which a contact edge of the first structure abuts the second structure, and a deployed configuration in which a gap 25 exists between the contact edge and the second structure. The contact edge is pivotable relative to another part of the first structure. The first structure comprises a lever 23 and the second structure comprises a stop 24, which are mutually configured such that a first part of the lever contacts the stop in the retracted configuration. Urging 26 the first part and the stop against each other causes a second part of the lever to transmit a rotational force 27 to the contact edge, the direction of the rotational force being such that the contact edge is pressed against the second structure. The first structure 21 may be a slat and the second structure may be part of a wing 22.
