A wing assembly for an aircraft is disclosed including a wing and a wing tip device at the tip of the wing, wherein the wing tip device is moveable between a flight configuration and a ground configuration. The wing has a spar extension which extends spanwise away from a distal end of the wing, the spar extension having a first end portion fixed in the wing and a second end portion which, in the flight configuration, is positioned in the wing tip device such that, in the flight configuration, the spar extension transmits flight loads between the wing tip device and flight-load bearing structure in the wing. The wing assembly may have an actuation assembly to move the wing tip device.
