A wing for an aircraft, including a main wing, a slat, and a connecting assembly movably connecting the slat to the main wing, the slat being movable between retracted and extended positions. The connecting assembly includes a slat track and a roller bearing. A front section of the slat track is mounted to the slat. A rear section and an intermediate section of the slat track are mounted to the main wing via the roller bearing. The roller bearing includes a guide rail mounted to the main wing and a first roller which is rotatably mounted to the rear section of the slat track. The first roller engages a first engagement surface formed by the guide rail. The roller bearing includes a second roller which is rotatably mounted to the main wing. The second roller engages a second engagement surface formed by the intermediate section of the slat track. The first engagement surface comprises a first section, which is straight or is curved with a first radius of curvature and a first center of curvature, and the second engagement surface comprises a second section, which is straight or is curved with a second radius of curvature and a second center of curvature. When both the first section and the second section are curved, the first center of curvature and the second center of curvature are spaced from each other.
