An aircraft comprises a wing 1031, having a fixed wing 1005 with a wing tip device 1003 moveably mounted at the outer end thereof. The wing tip device 1003 is moveable between: a flight configuration; and a ground configuration about an axis of rotation. The wing tip device 1003 and the fixed wing 1005 meet along an interfacing cut line 1035. The interfacing cut line 1035 comprises curved section 1039 centred on the axis of rotation 1011, the radius of the curved section constantly increasing as the cut line passes around the axis (for example a spiral shape). Thus, as the wing tip device 1003 rotates relative to the fixed wing 1005, a gap opens along the length of curved section 1039.
