Summary:A wing (2) for an aircraft comprises a main wing structure (10) fixedly attachable to a body of an aircraft, a high lift body (8) movably supported at the main wing structure (10), a drive unit (12) coupled with the main wing structure (10) and the high lift body (8) and adapted to move the high lift body (8) relative to the main wing structure (10) in a substantial chordwise direction between a retracted position and an extended position, and a sealing device coupled with the high lift body (8) and the main wing structure (10). The high lift body (8) comprises at least one outer edge (26) facing to the main wing structure (10), which at least one outer edge (26) creates a gap (36) to the main wing structure (8) at least in the extended position. The sealing device comprises a flexible sealing body (34), which seals the intermediate space (36) between the high lift body (8) and the main wing structure (10) in the extended position of the high lift body (8).
