Abstract
A wing () including a fixed wing (), a high-lift device () and a hold-down arrangement arranged () between two supports () of the high lift device () having a first hold-down element () attached to the high-lift device () and a second hold-down element () attached to the fixed wing (). The first hold-down element () contacts the second hold-down element () when the high-lift device () is in a retracted position in which it prevents a trailing edge () of the high-lift device () from detaching from an upper surface () of the fixed wing () when the fixed wing () deforms in the spanwise direction. One of the hold-down elements () is a load-limited hold-down element () which transition from a first stable state to a second state when the load acting on the hold-down arrangement () exceeds an operational threshold.
