Claim 17:
18. A high lift assembly for a wing, comprising:
a high lift body, and
a connection assembly for movably connecting the high lift body to a main wing, such that the high lift body can be moved between a retracted position and at least one extended position,
wherein the connection assembly comprises a first connection element and a second connection element,
wherein the first connection element is configured to be movably mounted to the main wing and is mounted to the high lift body, and
wherein the second connection element is configured to be movably mounted to the main wing and is mounted to the high lift body in a position spaced apart from the first connection element in a wing span direction,
wherein the connection assembly comprises a drive system that is configured to be mounted to the main wing and that is connected to the high lift body for driving the high lift body between the retracted position and the extended position,
wherein the drive system comprises a first drive unit and a second drive unit spaced apart from one another in the wing span direction,
wherein the first drive unit has a first input section coupled to a drive shaft, a first gear unit and a first output section drivingly coupled to the first connection element, and
wherein the second drive unit has a second input section coupled to the drive shaft, a second gear unit, and a second output section drivingly coupled to the second connection element,
wherein the first output section comprises a first output wheel and the second output section comprises a second output wheel,
wherein the first output wheel is coupled to the first gear unit via a first torsional element, and/or
the second output wheel is coupled to the second gear unit via a second torsional element, and
the first torsional element and/or the second torsional element have a non-linear torsional force-displacement characteristic.
