Zusammenfassung:An aircraft wing (13, 14, figure 1) having a wing profile and a multi-functional pop-up spoiler unit. The pop-up spoiler unit 30 has a first spoiler panel 32a having at least one cut out and a second spoiler panel 32b. The first spoiler panel is moveable between a retracted position in which the first spoiler panel is within the wing profile and an extended position in which the first spoiler panel is projected outside the wing profile. The second spoiler panel is moveable between a retracted position in which the second spoiler panel is within the wing profile and an extended position in which the second spoiler panel is projected outside the wing profile. The pop-up spoiler unit is arranged to move between: a first configuration in which the first and second spoiler panels are in their retracted positions; a second configuration in which the first spoiler panel is in an extended position with the at least one first cut out exposed to an airflow over the wing profile; and a third configuration in which the first and second spoiler panels are in their extended positions and exposed to an airflow over the wing profile.
