An aerofoil wing with a main aerofoil, a high-lift flap movably arranged on the aerofoil wing by adjustment mechanisms. Each of the adjustment mechanisms including a first adjustment lever hinged to the main aerofoil via a first rotary linkage, with the formation of a first axis of rotation, a second adjustment lever hinged to the high-lift flap via a second rotary linkage, with the formation of a second axis of rotation, and a central linkage, with the formation of a third axis of rotation, such that the first, second and third axes of rotation pass through a common pole. The aerofoil wing further includes a drive device with a drive module mounted on the main aerofoil, and movable with respect to the drive module a drive lever coupled to the high-lift flap, and a stop device to limit the maximum extended setting of the high-lift flap.
