Abstract
An aerodynamic structure comprising a shock bump (3) extending from its surface. The shock bump is asymmetrical about a plane of asymmetry, and the plane of asymmetry: passes through a centre (6) of the shock bump, is parallel with a principal direction of air flow over the structure, and extends at a right angle to the surface of the structure.
