The present invention relates to the provision of an aerodynamic structure (310) for use on an upper surface (320) of an aircraft wing (300). The wing (300) comprises a slat operable between a stowed configuration in which the slat is stowed in a slat recess of the wing (300), and a deployed configuration in which the slat extends out of the slat recess. When the slat is in the deployed configuration, an end face (340) of the slat recess is exposed, the end face (340) intersecting with the upper surface (320) of the wing (300) at a recess edge (330). The aerodynamic structure (310), adjacent to the recess edge (330), has a volume shaped to encourage air flowing over the recess edge (330) onto the upper surface (320) during flight, to remain attached.
