An aircraft wing is disclosed including a main wing element and a movable wing tip device attached to a tip end of the main wing element. The movable wing tip device can move relative to the main wing element to vary a span of the aircraft wing. An inductive coupler is arranged to inductively transmit data and/or power between the main wing element and the movable wing tip device. The inductive coupler removes the need for wires and cables to pass across a joint between the main wing element and a movable wing tip device. Additional embodiments include a method of maintenance, and a method of operating the aircraft wing to transmit data and/or power between the main wing element and the movable wing tip device.
