Described and illustrated is an aircraft wing (1) comprising a main wing (3), a high lift element (5), and at least two spaced connecting systems (7) for moveably connecting the high lift element (5) to the main wing (3), wherein each connecting system (7) comprises a track element (11) provided on the main wing (3), and having a first support surface (23) and a first track side wall (25), an actuator device (13), a drive rod (15), and a carriage device (17) connected to the high lift element (5) and having an engagement portion (33). The object, to provide an aircraft wing which is configured in such a manner that when the connecting system for connecting the high lift element to the main wing fails the high lift element can still be held in a possibly unskewed position, is achieved by the engagement portion (33) comprising a bearing (35) having a first bearing surface (37) and a first bearing side wall (39), wherein the first bearing surface (37) is adapted to slide along the corresponding first support surface (23), and the slide bearing (35) and the track element (11) engaging in such a manner that, when the slide bearing (35) is aligned with the track element (11) the first track side wall (25) and the first bearing side wall (39) are spaced from each other so that linear movement of the carriage device (17) along the track element (11) is permitted, and when the slide bearing (35) is skewed with respect to the track element (11) the first bearing side wall (39) contacts the first track side wall (25) so that the slide bearing (35) is locked against the track element (11) and movement of the carriage device (17) along the track element (11) is inhibited.
