WING FOR AN AIRCRAFT

The present disclosure relates to a wing (2) for an aircraft, as well as a high lift assembly (7) for the wing (2) and a method for connecting a high lift body to a connection assembly (10). The wing (2) for an aircraft, comprises a main wing (5) comprising a fixed leading edge having an outer skin (20), and a high lift assembly (7). The high lift assembly (7) comprises a high lift body comprising a high lift structure (8) defining an internal volume (22) and a connection assembly (10) extending through an aperture (18) in the outer skin (20) of the fixed leading edge of the main wing (5) to movably connect the high lift body to the main wing (5), such that the high lift body is movable between a retracted position and at least one extended position. The connection assembly (10) comprises an elongate track (16) and a first and second connector (12, 14), the elongate track (16) being mounted to the main wing (5) via a bearing such that the track (16) is moveable along a track longitudinal axis (24), and the first and second connectors (12, 14) connecting the elongate track (16) to the high lift body at a first end of the elongate track (16). In addition, the high lift body is configurable to the retracted position such that the first connector (12) is located between the internal volume (22) in the high lift body and the outer skin (20) of the main wing (5). The second connector (14) is an elongate connector having a longitudinal axis oriented transverse to the leading edge of the high lift body, and is connected to the high lift body so as to permit translational movement between the high lift body and the connector (14) along the longitudinal axis thereof, and the high lift structure (8) comprises an opening (40) through which the elongate track (16) extends such that the second connector (14) is located in the internal volume (22) of the high lift body.
