An aircraft wing (10, fig 1) comprising a fixed (14, fig 1) wing and a wing tip device (12, fig 1) rotatable about a hinge 18 at the tip of the fixed wing. The wing further comprises a hinged panel 34 at the boundary between the wing tip device and the fixed wing. In the flight configuration the panel is closed such that the panel is substantially flush with the upper surface of the wing, and the hinged panel is located in the path of a moveable element 40 (for example part of an actuation mechanism, such as a curved rack). In the ground configuration the panel is hinged open to a position outside the path of the moveable element such that clashing of the moveable element with the stationary structure at the tip of the fixed wing is avoided. Methods of transferring the wing tip device between the two configurations are also claimed.
