Abstract

An aircraft wing comprises a fixed wing (5) and a wing tip device (7) at the tip thereof. The wing tip device (7) is configurable between: a flight configuration for use during flight and a ground configuration for use during ground-based operations to reduce the span. The wing (3) comprises an actuation assembly (31) for moving the wing tip device (7). The actuation assembly (31) is arranged to move the wing tip device (7) in a two-stage movement comprising a first stage in which the wing tip device is translated away from the flight configuration in a linear movement only, and a second, subsequent stage, in which the wing tip device (7) is rotated to the ground configuration.
