Disclosed is an adjustable fixed structure attachment system 200 for an aircraft wing, the attachment system 200 comprising a bracket 210. The bracket comprises a wall 212 for connection to a wing box, a protrusion 214 protruding from the wall, a slot 216 extending through the protrusion, and a bush 220 having a bore 222 extending there through for receipt of a pin, wherein the bush is insertable into the slot. The bush is dimensioned relative to the slot so that the bush is substantially immovable in a width-wise direction of the slot, and is moveable in a height-wise direction of the slot to thereby vary a position of the bush within the slot. There is further disclosed an attachment system for the edge of an aircraft wing comprising two bracket assemblies comprising pivotal connections. Also disclosed are fixed structure attachment arrangements for aircraft wings, modular aircraft wing portions, leading or trailing edge attachment systems for aircraft wings, and aircraft.
