There is described an assembly (14) for moving a tip (4) of an airfoil (e.g., an aircraft wing tip) relative to a fixed body of the airfoil. The assembly (14) comprises a linear actuator (26) configured to pivotally attach to both the fixed body of the airfoil and the movable tip of the airfoil, such that the linear actuator is configured to extend between a first pivotal attachment on the fixed body and a second pivotal attachment on the movable tip. The linear actuator (26) is configured to repeatedly move the tip (4) of the airfoil from an unfolded position to a folded position, wherein throughout such movement the linear actuator (26) is configured to pivot about both the first and second pivotal attachments.
