Abstract
An aircraft wing, including a main wing and a trailing edge high lift assembly movably arranged at a main wing trailing edge. The trailing edge high lift assembly includes a flap and a connection assembly movably mounting the flap to the main wing, the flap being movable between retracted and extended positions. In the extended position, a gap is present between a main wing lower rear panel and a flap leading-edge section. In the retracted position, the gap is closed or minimized. The flap is movable between the extended position, a first retracted position, and a second retracted position where the flap is moved beyond the first retracted position in a forward direction, and the wing includes a gap closing device configured to close or minimize the gap in both the first and second retracted flap positions, and to open the gap in the extended flap position.
