An aircraft (1002, see Fig. 3b) comprising a wing (1001, see Fig. 3b), having a fixed wing (1005) with a wing tip device (1003) moveably mounted at the outer end thereof. The wing tip device (1003) is moveable between: a flight configuration; and a ground configuration about an axis of rotation. The wing tip device (1003) and the fixed wing (1005) meet along an interfacing cut line (1035, see Fig. 4). The interfacing cut line (1035, see Fig. 4) comprises curved section (1039) centred on the axis of rotation (1011), the radius of the curved section constantly increasing as the cut line passes around the axis (for example a spiral shape).
