The wing has a connecting device, which is coupled to each of two adjacent leading edge lifting bodies, wherein the connecting device is configured such that in the event of a fracture of a positioning device of a positioning body external forces acting on the latter are transferred via the respective connecting device to the leading edge lifting bodies coupled up via the latter.
