A device (318a) for influencing the wake flow of an aircraft wing (304a) having an inboard root end (310a) and an outboard tip end (312a), a high pressure side (306a) and a low pressure side (308a) and a leading edge (314a) and a trailing edge (316a), the device (318a) comprising a body (320) adapted for attachment in the region of the tip of the aircraft wing and having a through-duct (326) with a first opening (328) at a first end of the duct being located on the high pressure side of the wing and a second opening (330) at a second end of the duct being located on the low pressure side of the wing, the duct (326) being configured to, when the wing is exposed to fluid flow, permit an fluid flow through the duct so as to inhibit the flow of fluid around the outboard extremity of the wing and to direct the fluid flow through the duct into a pair of opposing rotating flows of substantially equal magnitude externally of the duct.
