A joint assembly for an aircraft comprising: a joint comprising a first portion rotatably coupled to a second portion so that the first portion can rotate relative to the second portion; an actuator for rotating the first portion of the joint and comprising a connecting portion that connects to the first portion of the joint; and a latch moveable to a latched arrangement in which the latch prevents rotation of the first portion of the joint in at least one rotational direction, the latch being biased toward the latched arrangement and operatively connected to the connecting portion such that if the connecting portion becomes separated from the rest of the actuator, the latch moves to the latched arrangement, thereby preventing rotation of the first portion of the joint in the at least one rotational direction.
