Abstract
An aircraft wing, including a main wing with upper and lower skin panels, a leading-edge high lift assembly including a high lift body, and a connection assembly connecting the high lift body to the main wing, the high lift body being movable relative to the main wing between stowed and deployed positions. The connection assembly includes a rotation element mounted to both the high lift body and the main wing rotatably about a rotational axis. The upper skin panel has a leading-edge portion. The high lift body includes a rigid portion and a flexible skin portion with the rigid portion mounted to the rotation element. The flexible skin portion connects to the upper skin panel leading-edge portion and to the high lift body rigid portion, while being configured to be deformed between stowed and deployed deformation states, when the high lift body moves between the stowed and deployed positions.
