AIRCRAFT WING, METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AIRCRAFT WING, AND USE OF A PIVOTABLE TRAILING EDGE ON A MAIN WING OF AN AIRCRAFT, FOR ADJUSTING THE SHAPE AND THE WIDTH OF AN AIR GAP

摘要

An aircraft wing comprises a main wing (301) with a pivotable trailing edge (304) and a lift-assisting flap (302) on the rear of the wing, wherein the lift-assisting flap (302) is coupled to the main wing (301) and is designed in such a way that in its retracted state (300) it rests against the main wing (301) and in an extended state (310) it forms an air gap (311) with the main wing (301). The pivotable trailing edge (304) is pivotable in such a way that by using pivoting the pivotable trailing edge (304) the shape and the width of the air gap (311) are adjustable.
