Abstract

A wing system (2) for an aircraft includes a movable flow body (6) and a cover panel (8), wherein the flow body (6) and the cover panel (8) both are movably supported on a main wing body (4). While the flow body (6) is actively driven into upwards or downwards deflected positions, the cover panel (8) is coupled with the flow body (6) to follow its motion. The cover panel covers a part of the flow body (6) and the main wing body (4) in order to provide a substantially continuous, closed outer contour.
