Seal

A seal for use in a wing comprising a fixed aerofoil, a resilient seal plate fixed to the aerofoil, a control surface moveable relative to the aerofoil and a seal arranged to seal between the seal plate and the control surface, the seal comprising:

• a first seal portion configured to provide a seal between a free edge of the seal plate and an edge of the control surface and further configured to transmit a first bending moment from the control surface to the seal plate in a first position of the control surface relative to the aerofoil;
• and
• a second seal portion configured to provide a seal between the free edge of the seal plate and the edge of the control surface and further configured to transmit a second bending moment from the control surface to the seal plate in a second position of the control surface relative to the aerofoil, wherein the first and second seal portions are relatively configured such that the second bending moment is substantially greater than the first bending moment.
