An aircraft comprises a foldable wing, the wing comprising an inner region and an outer region, such as a wing tip. The outer region is moveable relative to the inner region between a flight configuration and a ground configuration in which the span is reduced. The aircraft comprises a control system and a control interface. The control interface comprises a selector for selecting the desired configuration of the outer region, and is arrange to provide: a first output, such as a light, when the flight configuration is selected and the outer region is in the flight configuration; a second output, such an amber light, when the ground configuration is selected and the outer region is in the ground configuration; and a third output, such as a red light, when the outer region is not in the selected configuration.
An aircraft comprising a foldable wing, the wing comprising an inner region and an outer region, the outer region being moveable relative to the inner region between:
A control interface for interfacing with a control system for controlling movement of a foldable wing,
A control interface for interfacing with a control system for controlling movement of a foldable wing,
