Abstract
A wing-lip arrangement couplable with a wing of an aircraft includes a connection region for coupling or integration with the wing end region, at least one tip, at least one upper surface and at least one lower surface, which extend between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the wing-tip arrangement from the connection region to the at least one tip, and at least one vortilon. The local dihedral of the wing-tip arrangement changes between the at least one tip and the connection region, such that at least a part of the wing-tip arrangement projects at an angle relative to the wing. The at least one vortilon includes a vortilon base and a vortilon tip. The vortilon base is attached to at least one of the at least one lower surface of the wing-tip arrangement. The vortilon tip faces in an upstream direction.
