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,
• wherein the connection assembly comprises a linkage including a first link 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 first link 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,
• wherein the connection assembly comprises a drive unit mounted to the main wing and coupled to the first link element for driving the first link element for rotation about the first axis of rotation,
• wherein the rigid portion is mounted to the first link element rotatably about a second axis of rotation,
• the drive unit comprises a rotary actuator mounted to the main wing and having at least one drive arm rotatably driven about a drive axis and drivingly engaging the first link element,
• one of the drive arm and the first link element comprises at least one groove and the other one of the drive arm and the first link element comprises at least one spigot drivingly engaging the groove.
