Wing for an aircraft

A wing for an aircraft, comprising

• a main wing,
• a slat, and
• a connection assembly for movably connecting the slat to the main wing, such that the slat can be moved between a retracted position and at least one extended position, wherein the connection assembly comprises
• a first link element which has a first link end and an opposite second link end, wherein the first link end is rotatably mounted to the slat via a first joint, and wherein the second link end is rotatably mounted to the main wing via a second joint, and
• a second link element which has a first element end and an opposite second element end, wherein the first element end is rotatably mounted to the slat via a third joint spaced apart from the first joint, and wherein the second element end is rotatably mounted to the main wing via a fourth joint spaced apart from the second joint,
• the first joint and the second joint being formed as spherical joints or as universal joints, allowing rotation about more than one axis of rotation,
• one of the third joint and the fourth joint being formed as a spherical joint or as a universal joint allowing rotation about more than one axis of rotation, the other of the third joint and the fourth joint being formed as a hinged joint allowing rotation only about a single hinge axis, and
• the hinge axis being inclined between a wing thickness direction and a wing span direction.
