Claim:
A wing comprising a main wing having a wing flow surface and an adjustable flap that can be moved between a retracted and an extended setting, the wing comprising: a gap-covering device with an adjustment lever comprising a first end section and a second end section and a gap-covering flap arranged on the second end section and comprising a flow surface, the adjustment lever with the gap-covering flap being pre-loaded by means of a pre-loading device into a first setting in which the gap-covering flap is located in the interior of the wing, wherein the adjustment lever comprises a contact device on the first end section, the contact device being positioned such that as the adjustable flap moves into its retracted setting, the contact device comes into contact with the adjustable flap to correspondingly cause a movement of the adjustment lever against a pre-load effected by the pre-loading device into a second setting, and wherein the flow surface of the gap-covering flap in the second setting of the adjustment lever covers a gap formed between the upper side of the retracted adjustable flap and the wing flow surface.
