Abstract:
A wing arrangement for an aircraft including a latching arrangement (29, 29′, 29″) having a latching member (31, 31′, 31″) and an engagement device (33), wherein the latching member (31, 31′, 31″) is fixed to a wing tip section (13), and the engagement device (33) has a base member (35) on a wing base section (7) and has an abutment surface (43), and an engagement member (45, 45′, 63) supported on the base section (7) and moves between a release position and a latching position by an actuator (49, 49′) coupled to the engagement member (45, 45′, 63) and the base section (7), wherein when the tip section (13) is in the deployed position, the latching member (31, 31′, 31″) abuts the abutment surface (43) and the engagement member (45, 45′, 63) can move between the release position and the latching position, wherein when the latching member (31, 31′, 31″) abuts the abutment surface (43) and the engagement member (45, 45′, 63) is in the latching position, the engagement member (45, 45′, 63) abuts on a surface section of the latching member (31, 31′, 31″) facing away from the abutment surface (43) to prevent a pivot movement of the tip section.
