A wing-tip arrangement (2) couplable with a wing (38) of an aircraft comprises a connection region (4) for coupling or integration with the wing end region (10), at least one tip, at least one upper surface (14) and at least one lower surface (16), which extend between a leading edge (6) and a trailing edge (8) of the wing-tip arrangement (2) from the connection region (4) to the at least one tip, and at least one vortilon (18). The local dihedral of the wing-tip arrangement (2) changes between the at least one tip and the connection region (4), such that at least a part of the wing-tip arrangement projects at an angle relative to the wing, when coupled with the wing end region (10). The at least one vortilon (18) comprises a vortilon base (22) and a vortilon tip (24), wherein the vortilon base (22) is attached to at least one of the at least one lower surface (16) of the wing-tip arrangement (2) and wherein the vortilon tip (24) faces in an upstream direction.
