Abstract: A kit of parts for forming an aerofoil assembly is disclosed having a torsion box structure including a first attachment point and a second attachment point, the first and second attachment points being separated from each other along a separation axis, and a fixed leading or trailing edge structure including corresponding first and second attachment points, wherein a first structure includes a slidebly mounted abutment piece slideable along a slide path extending in a direction parallel to the separation axis and a fixing mechanism for fixing the slidebly mounted abutment piece. A second structure includes a corresponding abutment feature having a first abutment surface facing in a direction parallel to the separation axis of the second structure, such that, in use, the abutment piece prevents relative movement of the first and second structures.

Abstract: A kit of parts for forming an aerofoil structure including a torsion box for use in attaching a fixed leading or trailing edge structure to the torsion box, and a fixed leading or trailing edge structure attachable to the torsion box. The torsion box includes a first mounting feature. The fixed leading or trailing edge structure includes a second mounting feature configured to engage with the first mounting feature. The first mounting feature and the second mounting feature are mutually configured to permit the first and second mounting features to be moved into engagement with each other along a first direction, and to prevent relative movement of the first and second mounting features along a second direction when the first and second mounting features are engaged with each other.

Abstract: An airfoil structure comprising a torsion-box member with a cover and a spar web connected by at least one pivot joint to a leading-edge or trailing-edge member, wherein the pivot joint is configured to permit rotation of the leading-edge member, or trailing-edge member, relative to the torsion-box member between an installation position and an operational position.
