Abstract
Disclosed is a wing assembly, the wing assembly defining a direction of flow with respect to which the wing assembly is configured to create lift for an aircraft, comprising a main section configured to be mounted to a fuselage to extend from the fuselage in an extension direction of the wing; and a plurality of flap sections each with a body part, which are mounted to the main section in a pivotable manner to be individually pivotable around a pivot axis over a range of angular orientations including a horizontal orientation in which the body part of the flap section is substantially aligned with the main section to form an elongate and substantially continuous cross-section; and a vertical orientation in which the flap section is angled downwards with respect to the main section. An aircraft equipped with at least one pair of such wing assemblies is also described.
