Abstract

The invention relates to a wing structure (1) for flying objects, comprising a wing leading edge (4) and a wing box (2), wherein the wing leading edge should be arranged on the wing box in particular in a detachable manner. For this purpose, the wing leading edge is connected to the wing box within a joining segment (9) and to rib extensions (11) of the wing box by means of fastening element (12) near the nose segment (15) such that a fastening-free segment (14) extends on the top side (16) of the wing leading edge in order to compensate thermal deformation during flight.
