A combination comprises an aircraft wing trailing edge section and an adjustment body. The adjustment body comprises a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge section, a lower adjustment body surface connected to a top surface of the aircraft wing trailing edge section and a back-end surface having a height. The adjustment body is positioned such that the back-end surface is flush with the trailing edge of the aircraft wing trailing edge section. Attaching the adjustment body onto a top surface of the wing trailing edge section leads to compensation of an offset rolling moment due to unavoidable structural shape deviations of the aircraft and eliminates additional structural reinforcement requirements on the trailing edge compared to edge wedges mounted on the bottom surface of trailing edges. The trailing edge section may comprise a flap.

1. An aircraft wing trailing edge comprising at least one flap having a first lateral extension and an adjustment body, the adjustment body comprising: a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge section with an upper adjustment body surface, a lower adjustment body surface and a back-end surface,wherein the lower adjustment body surface is connected to a top surface of the aircraft wing trailing edge section, and wherein the back-end surface has a height,wherein the adjustment body has a length in a local chord axis direction;wherein the adjustment body is positioned on the wing trailing edge section such that the back-end surface is flush with the wing trailing edge; andwherein the adjustment body has a second lateral extension equal to the first lateral extension of the at least one flap. 2. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the adjustment body has a wedge-shape. 3. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the upper adjustment body surface is planar. 4. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the upper adjustment body surface is concave. 5. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the upper adjustment body surface is convex. 6. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a first angle within the range of about 5° to about 25°,wherein said first angle is determined by the ratio of the height of the back-end surface to the length in a local chord axis direction to satisfy the range of said first angle,wherein said length corresponds to about 1-2% of a local chord length of the aircraft wing trailing edge section, andwherein said height of the back-end surface corresponds to about 0.1% to about 0.6% of the local chord length for compensating asymmetric characteristics caused by a sum of structural tolerances of an aircraft. 7. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a first angle at a leading edge of the adjustment body within the range of about 5° to about 25°, andwherein a parallel line to the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a second angle at the back-end surface of the adjustment body, wherein the second angle is higher than the first angle. 8. The edge section of claim 1, wherein the aircraft wing trailing edge section is part of at least one flap. 9. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the wing has a maximum spanwise extension; and wherein the second lateral extension of the adjustment body is equal to the maximum spanwise extension. 10. An aircraft having two wings, each wing including a leading edge, a wing trailing edge, a top wing surface and a bottom wing surface, wherein an adjustment body is connected to the top surface of only one of the two wings, the adjustment body comprising a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge with an upper adjustment body surface and a lower adjustment body surface,wherein a back-end surface of the adjustment body has a height, andwherein the adjustment body is positioned on the wing such that the back-end surface of the adjustment body is flush with the wing trailing edge. 11. The aircraft of claim 10, wherein the adjustment body has a wedge-shape. 12. The aircraft of claim 10, wherein the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a first angle within the range of about 5° to about 25°,wherein said first angle is determined by the ratio of the height of the back-end surface to the length in a local chord axis direction to satisfy the range of said first angle,wherein said length of said upper adjustment body surface corresponds to about 1-2% of a local chord length of the aircraft wing trailing edge section, andwherein said height of the back-end surface corresponds to about 0.1% to about 0.6% of the local chord length for compensating asymmetric characteristics caused by a sum of structural tolerances of an aircraft. 13. The aircraft of claim 10, wherein the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a first angle at a leading edge of the adjustment body within the range of about 5° to about 25°, andwherein a parallel line to the lower adjustment body surface and the upper adjustment body surface enclose a second angle at the back-end surface of the adjustment body, wherein the second angle is higher than the first angle. 14. The aircraft of claim 10, wherein the aircraft wing comprises at least one flap and wherein the wing trailing edge is comprised of the at least one flap. 15. An aircraft wing trailing edge section comprising a wing trailing edge having a first lateral extension and an adjustment body, the adjustment body comprising: a tapered cross section in a local chord axis direction of the wing trailing edge section with an upper adjustment body surface, a lower adjustment body surface and a back-end surface,wherein the lower adjustment body surface is connected to a top surface of the aircraft wing trailing edge section, and wherein the back-end surface has a height,wherein the adjustment body has a length in a local chord axis direction;wherein the adjustment body is positioned on the wing trailing edge section such that the back-end surface is flush with the wing trailing edge; andwherein the adjustment body has a second lateral extension equal to the first lateral extension of the wing trailing edge.
