A flexible tip 12 for integration in a wing trailing edge 10 employs a wing structure rear spar 40. A flexible upper skin 14 is attached at a forward boundary to the spar and a rigid lower skin 18 is interconnected to the flexible upper skin at a rigid tail piece. At least one actuation link 46 is attached to the rigid tail piece and has a hinge 20 at a forward edge of the rigid lower skin. At least one positioning slider 52 is attached to the hinge which is movable from a neutral position to a first extended position urging the hinge aft for rotation of the rigid lower skin upward and flexing of the flexible upper skin in an upward camber and to a second retracted position urging the hinge forward for rotation of the rigid lower skin downward and flexing of the flexible upper skin in a downward camber.
