An aerodynamic aircraft component includes a fixed aerodynamic part having a first contact surface, and a movable aerodynamic part having a second contact surface and mounted to the fixed aerodynamic part such that it is movable relative to the fixed aerodynamic part between a first position where the first and second contact surfaces are spaced, and a second position where the second contact surface contacts the first contact surface. Providing an aerodynamic aircraft component allowing a simplified rigging process is achieved as the fixed aerodynamic part includes one of a magnet device and a piece of magnetic material, the movable aerodynamic part includes the other of the magnet device and the piece of magnetic material, and the magnet device and the piece of magnetic material are arranged such that a magnetic force between the magnet device and the piece of magnetic material urges the second contact surface in contact with the first contact surface.
