An aircraft wing (4) comprising a trailing edge system (12), comprising a pivotable spoiler (8) and a moveable flap (6). The flap has a pivotable trailing edge device (e.g. a tab 14), which is for example able to rotate independently of the flap by up to +/-20 degrees. The flap (6) is translatable and rotatable relative to the wing independently of the movement of the spoiler (8). In use, the trailing edge system (12) is configured to adopt one of several different configurations or modes of operation facilitating all of camber and/or wing chord change during cruise, high speed and low speed roll control mode, enhanced high lift, and load alleviation. As such, the wing may not need any separate ailerons or other trailing edge control surfaces, and may also offer improved aerodynamics, reduced drag and other efficiency improving benefits.
