A flap arrangement, comprising: a basic body, a hinge arrangement, and a flap movably held on the basic body by the hinge arrangement, wherein the hinge arrangement comprises at least first, second, and third points of articulation spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance from one another and arranged on a shared hinge line such that, in an absence of a load acting on the flap arrangement, the hinge line is a straight line, wherein, at the first and second points of articulation, the flap is rigidly connected to the basic body such that a deformation of the flap at the first and second points of articulation is congruent to a deformation of the basic body, and wherein, at remaining one or more non-rigid points of articulation, in each case allow a local relative movement between the basic body and the flap in at least one first spatial direction perpendicularly to the hinge line is allowed such that the deformation of the flap at the remaining one or more non-rigid points of articulation is not congruent to the deformation of the basic body.
