An aircraft wing 13, 14 comprising a wing structure supporting a wing cover having an outer aerodynamic surface, and a pop-up spoiler unit 30 including an actuation mechanism 31 and a spoiler 32 coupled to the actuation mechanism 31. The spoiler 32 is moveable by the actuation mechanism 31 to deploy through an aperture 23 in the wing cover. The pop-up spoiler unit 30 is mounted to the wing structure so as to be substantially isolated from wing bending deflections. The wing structure has a neutral plane which is substantially neither stretched nor compressed during bending of the wing structure. The pop-up spoiler unit 30 is mounted to the wing structure at only two pin joints each having a respective pin axis about which the pop-up spoiler unit is substantially free to rotate, and each pin axis substantially lies in the neutral plane.
