Wing for an aircraft

A wing for an aircraft, comprising

• a main wing, and
• a leading-edge high lift assembly comprising
• a high lift body, and
• a connection assembly connecting the high lift body to the main wing in such a way that the high lift body is movable relative to the main wing between a stowed position and a deployed position, the connection assembly comprising a drive unit coupled to the rotation element for driving the rotation element for rotation about the first axis of rotation,
• wherein the connection assembly comprises at least one rotation element that is mounted to the high lift body and that is mounted to the main wing rotatably about a first axis of rotation,
• wherein the main wing comprises an upper skin panel and a lower skin panel,
• wherein the upper skin panel has a leading-edge portion,
• wherein the high lift body comprises a rigid portion and a flexible skin portion,
• wherein the rigid portion is mounted to the rotation element,
• wherein the flexible skin portion is connected to the leading-edge portion of the upper skin panel of the main wing and is connected to the rigid portion of the high lift body, and
• wherein the flexible skin portion is configured to be deformed between a stowed deformation state and a deployed deformation state, when the high lift body is moved between the stowed position and the deployed position, and
• wherein the rigid portion is mounted to the rotation element rotatably about a second axis of rotation,
• wherein the drive unit comprises a drive strut mounted to the rotation element rotatably about a strut axis spaced from the first axis of rotation,
• wherein the strut axis is arranged in a position opposite from the second axis of rotation with respect to the first axis of rotation, so that the first axis of rotation is arranged between the strut axis and the second axis of rotation.
