A cover panel 25 suitable for an aircraft with first region 26, second region 27 that overlaps with a second panel, wherein a ramp 30 separates the regions. The ramp includes a region 33 that tapers towards a free-edge 40 of the first region, the free-edge forming a butt-joint with the second panel. The tapered region may extend in a direction orthogonal to a portion 32 of the ramp adjacent to the tapered region. The first region may be thicker than the second region. The panel may be a laminate of composite material formed from ply drops 45. The second panel may have a straight edge extending across the second region, abutting the free-edge of the first region. The cover panel can cover a wingtip and the second panel may be a removable wingtip cover panel. A portion 32 of the ramp and free-edge may extend in a chordwise direction.
