Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a wing arrangement for an aircraft, comprising a wing (9) having a base section (11) and a tip section (13) pivotably connected to base section (11) such that the tip section (13) is pivotable about a tip section pivot axis (17) between a deployed position and a stowed position. The wing arrangement also comprises a latching arrangement (21, 21') which includes an engagement portion (25) on one of the tip section (13) and the base section, a latching actuator (33, 33') selectively movable between a first actuator position and a second actuator position, an elastically deformable structure (37a, 25, 29), and a latching element (23, 23') which has a hook-shaped portion, is secured to the other one of the tip section (13) and the base section to be pivotable with respect thereto and is selectively movable between different positions by moving the latching actuator (33, 33').
