Disclosed is an aerodynamic aircraft component (4) comprising a fixed aerodynamic part (11) having a first contact surface (19), and a movable aerodynamic part (15) having a second contact surface (21) and being mounted to the fixed aerodynamic part (11) such that it is movable relative to the fixed aerodynamic part (11) between a first position where the first and second contact surfaces (19, 21) are spaced from one another, and a second position where the second contact surface (21) contacts the first contact surface (19). The object, to provide an aerodynamic aircraft component that allows a simplified rigging process, is achieved in that the fixed aerodynamic part (11) comprises one of a magnet device (37) and a piece (39) of magnetic material, the movable aerodynamic part (15) comprises the other of the magnet device (37) and the piece (39) of magnetic material, and the magnet device (37) and the piece (39) of magnetic material are arranged such that a magnetic force (40) between the magnet device (37) and the piece (39) of magnetic material urges the second contact surface (21) in defined contact with the first contact surface (19).
