An aircraft wing comprises a main wing with a pivotable trailing edge and a lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing. The lift-assisting flap is coupled to the main wing and is designed in such a way that in its retracted state, the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing and in an extended state

An aircraft wing comprises a main wing with a pivotable trailing edge and a lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing. The lift-assisting flap is coupled to the main wing and is designed in such a way that in its retracted state, the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing and in an extended state, the lift-assisting flap forms an air gap with the main wing. The pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that, by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge, the shape and the width of the air gap are adjustable.

What is claimed is: 1. An aircraft wing comprising: a main wing having a housing; a spoiler, wherein the spoiler is attached to the housing of the main wing; a pivotable trailing edge, wherein the pivotable trailing edge is pivotably attached to the spoiler; and a lift-assisting flap on the rear of the main wing; wherein the lift-assisting flap is coupled to the main wing and is designed in such a way that in a retracted state, the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing and in an extended state, the lift-assisting flap forms an air gap with the main wing; and the pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge, a shape and a width of the air gap are adjustable. 2. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge the width of the air gap is kept constant or convergent. 3. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge the width of the air gap during extension of the lift-assisting flap from the retracted state to the extended state is at least at times kept constant or convergent. 4. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge extends along an entire span width of the lift-assisting flap. 5. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge extends along part of the span width of the lift-assisting flap. 6. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge is pivotable by using a spring element. 7. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the pivotable trailing edge is pivotable by using a drive device. 8. The aircraft wing of claim 7, wherein the drive device is: an electrical drive device; or a hydraulic drive device. 9. The aircraft wing of claim 1, further comprising: a vane which in the extended state of the lift-assisting flap is arranged between the main wing and the lift-assisting flap. 10. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein in the extended state of the lift-assisting flap, several air gaps are formed between the main wing and the lift-assisting flap. 11. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing is a Fowler flap. 12. The aircraft wing of claim 1, wherein the lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing is a slotted flap. 13. A method for operating an aircraft main wing, the method comprising: attaching a pivotable trailing edge to a spoiler; attaching the spoiler to a housing of the main wing, extendably; moving a lift-assisting flap coupled to the main wing from a retracted state in which the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing to an extended state in which the lift-assisting flap forms an air gap with the main wing; and swivelling the pivotable trailing edge such that pivoting the pivotable trailing edge adjusts a shape and a width of the air gap. 14. A method comprising: controlling the aircraft wing of claim 1, such that the pivotable trailing edge is pivoted and the shape and the width of the air gap between the main wing and the pivotable trailing edge is adjusted.
