A gust alleviating aircraft wing includes a gust alleviating wing portion on the wing. The wing portion can have a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a downwardly sloping upper surface therebetween. At least one air passageway can extend through the wing portion from the leading edge to a rear or downstream location on the downwardly sloping upper surface of the wing portion. At least one spoiler can be on the upper surface of the wing portion at the rear location for selectively movably covering and uncovering an exit location of the at least one passageway. Opening the at least one passageway is capable of diverting air flow through the at least one passageway and the wing portion for counteracting upward lift caused by a gust of wind.
