Abstract

A load alleviation device (11, 31, 41) for a wing tip of an aircraft comprises one or more control surface devices (12, 32, 42) for increasing and/or decreasing the lift of a wing tip (10), and a drive train (13) connected to at least one of the control surface devices (12, 32, 42) for actuating a movement of the control surface devices (12, 32, 42). The drive train (13) is configured to be mounted with one end (14) near the root (15) of the wing tip (10) and to extend spanwise between an upper shell (16) and a lower shell (17) of the wing tip (10) at least partly out of the neutral axis (18) of the wing tip (10), to cause a movement of the control surface device (12, 32, 42) by the bending of the wing tip (10). The load alleviation device (11, 31, 41) is used in a method for alleviating the load of a wing tip of an aircraft.
