A hubcap for an aircraft wheel comprises a generally cup-like body for covering, in use, a free end of an axle. The cup-like body has an end wall, a side wall and an open end opposite the end wall. The hubcap further comprises one or more elongate formations protruding from an outer surface of the side wall and extending from close to the end wall towards the open end of the body, wherein the height of the or each elongate formation varies or tapers continuously or discontinuously from a maximum to a minimum along at least a portion of its length in a direction towards or away from the closed end of the cup-like body.
