Zusammenfassung:An aircraft wing 1 has a wing tip device 3 joined thereto. The root 7 of the wing tip device 3 is joined to the tip of the wing 1 at a first connection 11. An external strut 9 extends between the wing 1 and the wing tip device 3, the strut 9 being joined to the wing 1 at a second connection 13. The second connection 13 is inboard of the first connection, such that loadings on the wing tip device 3 generated during use, are transferred, via the strut 9, to a location on the wing 1 that is inboard of where the root 7 of the wing tip device 3 is joined to the tip of the wing.
