Abstract

The invention provides an aircraft wing, comprising a fixed wing (14) and a wing tip device (12) at the tip. The wing tip device (12) is configurable between: (i) a locked flight configuration for use during flight and (ii) a ground configuration for use during ground-based operations. The wing further comprises a locking mechanism for locking the folding wing tip device (12) in the locked flight configuration. A rotatable locking member (22, 22') is associated with one of the folding wing tip device (12) and the fixed wing (14), and a locking pin (32) associated with the other. The rotatable locking member (22, 22') comprises a guide surface to guide the locking pin to a locked configuration, in which the guide surface is shaped such that the locking pin (32) is urged toward the rotation axis of the rotatable locking member (22, 22') by a camming action of the guide surface on the locking pin (32), thereby preloading the locking mechanism.
