A shock bump (10) comprising a diverging nose (20) and a converging tail. The tail has at least one plan-form con-tour line with a pair of concave opposite sides (22, 23). The shock bump provides an improved shape with relatively low drag. Furthermore, the concave shape of the tail tends to promote the development of longitudinal vortices which can reduce shock in-duced buffet at certain operating conditions.
