Trailing edge panel support with biasing arrangement

An aircraft wing comprising:

• a wingbox with an upper cover, a lower cover, and a rear spar;
• a lower trailing edge panel with a leading edge, wherein the leading edge of the lower trailing edge panel is fixedly attached to the wingbox by fasteners that pass through the lower trailing edge panel and the lower cover of the wingbox;
• a support structure attached to the wingbox;
• a link which extends from a first end to a second end, wherein:
• the first end of the link is attached to the lower trailing edge panel;
• the second end of the link is pivotally attached to the support structure at a pivot joint;
• and
• the link is in an upright orientation with the first end of the link higher than the pivot joint;
• and
• a biasing arrangement configured to bias the link towards the upright orientation.
