A system is provided for an aircraft (20). This aircraft system includes an aircraft wing (24) extending spanwise from a wing base (36) to a wing tip (34). The aircraft wing (24) extends chordwise from a leading edge (42) to a trailing edge (44). The aircraft wing (24 extends laterally between a first surface (46) and a second surface (48). The aircraft wing (24) includes a first section (50), a second section (52) and a third section (54). The second section (52) extends spanwise between and connects the third section (54) and the first section (50). The second section (52) is pivotally connected to first section (50) at a first hinge line (56). The third section (54) is pivotally connected to the second section (52) at a second hinge line (58) that is angularly offset from the first hinge line (56) by a first acute angle (62).
