An aircraft wing has a spoiler movable from a reference position with a deflection angle αref to a given target deflection angle αtarget by an actuator powered mechanism. An upstream edge of the spoiler is interconnected with the aircraft wing exclusively via a strip element made of a resiliently flexible material and via the actuator powered mechanism. A downstream edge of the strip element extends along the whole or at least along a major part of the upstream edge of the spoiler. The actuator powered mechanism is constructed and arranged such that, while moving the spoiler, the strip element is bent with a constant strain along the strip element. A cross-section of the strip element for all deflection angles α assumes the form of a ring segment with a radius R(α) at least within a given margin of failure, with α, αtarget, αrefε[−α1; α2].
