A wing arrangement for an aircraft is described comprising a latching arrangement (29, 29', 29") having a latching member (31, 31', 31") and an engagement device (33), wherein the latching member (31, 31', 31") is fixed to the tip section (13), wherein the engagement device (33) comprises a base member (35) which is supported in a predetermined position on the base section (7) and which comprises an abutment surface (43), and an engagement member (45, 45', 63) which is supported on the base section (7) and which is movable between a release position and a latching position by means of an actuator (49, 49') coupled to the engagement member (45, 45', 63) and the base section (7), wherein when the tip section (13) is in the deployed position, the latching member (31, 31', 31") abuts on the abutment surface (43) and the engagement member (45, 45', 63) can be moved between the release position and the latching position, wherein when the latching member (31, 31', 31") abuts on the abutment surface (43) and the engagement member (45, 45', 63) is in the latching position, the engagement member (45, 45', 63) abuts on a surface section of the latching member (31, 31', 31") facing away from the abutment surface (43) so as to prevent a pivot movement of the tip section (13) about the pivot axis (19) out of the deployed position towards the stowed position.
