ABSTRACT:
A wing which is extendable from an airborne body. The wing includes a base spar which is actuatable through the operation of a power element, a nose spar which has one of the end sections thereof supported for pivotal movement about a bearing axis located on the airborne body and at least one lamella or sheet metal element which extends at least approximately in parallel with the nose spar in every angular position thereof, which has one end section thereof pivotably supported on the base spar by means of a lamella axis. A stabilizing element is supported for pivoting about a connecting axis at the second end section of the nose spar which is distant from the first end section, and extends through contact or positioning elements at the second end section of the at least one lamella element distant from the associated lamella axis.
