A folding wing (10) for an aircraft comprises a main wing portion (12) having an upper surface (32a) and a lower surface (30a) and a wing tip portion (14) having an upper surface (32b) and a lower surface (30b) and movable relative to the main wing portion (14) about a folding axis (34). The wing (10) further comprises a linkage mechanism (60) connecting the wing tip portion (14) to the main wing portion (12) and an actuator (76,86) coupled to the linkage system (60). Movement of the actuator causes the wing tip portion to move from a first position in which the wing tip portion (14) extends in substantially the same plane as the main wing portion (12) to a second position in which the wing tip portion (14) is angled relative to the main wing portion (12). The linkage mechanism (60) is configured such that movement of the wing tip portion (14) from the first position to the second position includes an initial phase of movement wherein the wing tip portion (14) moves downwardly and away from the main wing portion (12) and a further phase of movement wherein the wing tip portion (14) moves rotates upwardly into the second position.
