An aircraft (1002) including a wing (1001), 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. The wing tip device (1003) and the fixed wing (1005) are separated along an oblique primary cut plane (1013). The wing tip device (1003) and the fixed wing (1005) meet along an interfacing cut line (1035). The interfacing cut line (1035) includes a first length (1037) offset from the primary cut plane (1013) in a first direction; a second length (1041) that extends within a plane (P) containing the axis of rotation (1011), or a plane parallel thereto; and a transition section (1039) over which the interfacing cut line (1035) transitions from the first length to the second length. The second length may extend around the upper surface, around the leading edge and onto the lower surface.
