A method of attaching first and second aerofoil sections to each other is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: positioning one aerofoil section in an initial assembly orientation with respect to the other aerofoil section so that hinge elements on each aerofoil section are in alignment with each other, inserting a hinge shaft through said aligned hinge elements to initially couple the aerofoil sections together whilst the aerofoil sections are in their initial assembly orientation; and rotating one aerofoil section relative to the other aerofoil section about a compound angle defined by the hinge shaft into a second orientation in which the aerofoil sections are in their final, assembled orientation relative to each other. An aerofoil assembly is also disclosed.
