A method and apparatus for reducing bending moment on a wing (14) of an aircraft (10) can include at least one sensor (104) provided on the aircraft (10) configured to monitor a shape or position of the wing (14). The sensor (104) can provide a change in the position or shape of the wing (14) to a controller (102). The controller (102) can operate one or more spoilers (92) in response to the change in shape or position of the wings (14) to reduce loading on the wings (14) to reduce the bending moment.
