Wing for an aircraft

A wing for an aircraft, comprising:

• a main wing,
• a high lift assembly comprising
• a high lift body, and
• a connection assembly movably connecting the high lift body to the main wing, such that the high lift body can be moved between a retracted position and at least one extended position,
• wherein the connection assembly comprises a drive system that is mounted to the main wing and connected to the high lift body for driving the high lift body between the retracted position and the extended position,
• wherein the drive system comprises a first drive unit and a second drive unit spaced apart from one another in a wing span direction,
• wherein the first drive unit has a first input section coupled to a drive shaft, a first gear unit and a first output section drivingly coupled to the high lift body,
• wherein the second drive unit has a second input section coupled to the drive shaft, a second gear unit, and a second output section drivingly coupled to the high lift body,
• wherein the first output section comprises a first drive arm and the second output section comprises a second drive arm,
• wherein the first drive arm is drivingly coupled to the high lift body via at least one first link element rotatably coupled to the first drive arm and mounted to the high lift body, and
• wherein the second drive arm is drivingly coupled to the high lift body via at least one second link element rotatably coupled to the second drive arm and mounted to the high lift body,
• wherein the first link element comprises a first linear deformation element configured to elastically and plastically deform, and/or
• the second link element comprises a second linear deformation element configured to elastically and plastically deform, and
• the first linear deformation element and/or the second linear deformation element have a non-linear force-displacement characteristic.
