Abstract
A high lift system is provided for an aircraft. The high lift system includes, but is not limited to a lift flap arranged on a wing and coupled to the wing so as to be movable relative to the wing, between a retracted position and at least one extended position. In the retracted position the lift flap rests against the wing, and in an extended position forms an air gap to the wing. The lift flap directed towards its trailing edge comprises at least one region of variable curvature, which region in an extended position of the lift flap extends towards the wing.
