This invention relates to a wing comprising a generally aerofoil (or airfoil) shaped body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a span, and first and second major surfaces extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, where at least one of said first or second major surfaces comprises cyclic spanwise variations at or near the leading edge thereof, but not the trailing edge thereof. In preference, the cyclic spanwise variations extend substantially chordwise from at or near the leading edge, progressively diminishing as they extend chordwise so as to disappear at or before reaching the trailing edge of the wing.
