Abstract
A wing arrangement for an aircraft is disclosed including a wing having a fixed wing portion and a wing tip portion, wherein a the wing tip portion is pivotably connected to the fixed wing portion such that the wing tip portion is selectively pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the fixed wing portion between a first wing tip portion position and a wing tip portion second position, an actuator having an output element adapted to transfer an actuating torque and/or force to the wing tip portion for actuating the wing tip portion for movement about the pivot axis. The output element is movable between a first actuator position and a second actuator position, a first end stop for preventing movement of the wing tip portion beyond the first wing tip portion position, a detector adapted to detect a position of the output element, and a control unit adapted to control the actuating torque and/or force of the actuator based on the detected position of the output element.
