The invention relates to a device for folding an aircraft wing (2), in particular a wing tip of an aircraft wing (2), which device comprises a hing pin (3), which is supported in a rigid wing section (22) and is connected to a foldable wing section (21) in a rotationally fixed manner or in a fixed manner, an actuator (4) for driving the hinge pin (3) in order to fold the foldable wing section (21) out of or into an aircraft wing main plane, a stop element for stopping the foldable wing section (21) during folding out of the foldable wing section (21) and for defining an end position of a folded-out state of the foldable wing section (21), and a sensor (5) for measuring a preload torque that occurs when the foldable wing section (21) hits the stop element. The invention is characterized in that the sensor (5) measures the preload torque at the hinge pin (3) and therefore an especially accurate measurement is possible.
