Deployment system and method for an aircraft wing 1 comprising a flap 20 movable along a deployment path 26 between a retracted position and a deployed position, and an actuating system 100 to selectively vary the deployment path of at least part of the flap. This may be achieved by selectively varying the track 110 upon which the flap is mounted, for example by moving the trailing end of the track 112 using an actuator. Alternatively it can be achieved by causing the flap 220 to rotate relative to the deployment path 226 or by moving the flap relative to the deployment path using an actuator 200. This may be achieved by coupling a trailing link 230 to a trailing end of the flap 222 at a first pivot 202 and to the support structure 240 with the actuating system 200 comprising a mechanism for varying the length of the trailing link.
