Summary:An aircraft wing, including a main wing, a leading edge high lift assembly including a high lift body, and an assembly connecting the high lift body to the main wing. The high lift body is movable relative to the main wing between stowed and deployed positions. The connection assembly includes at least one rotation element mounted to the high lift body and rotatably mounted to the main wing. The main wing comprises an upper panel with a leading edge portion and a lower skin panel. The high lift body has a leading and a trailing edge. The high lift body trailing edge moves along the main wing upper skin panel leading edge portion when the high lift body is moved between the stowed and deployed positions. The upper skin panel leading edge portion is elastically deformed when the high lift body is moved from the stowed to the deployed position.
