    Abstract: An aircraft wing is provided having a fixed wing with a gulled wing tip rotatably mounted at the tip thereof, the gulled wing tip extending below a wing plane defined by the end of the fixed wing such that the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip is located below the wing plane. Lowering the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip has been found to reduce the onset of flutter. The gulled wing tip may be gulled about a hinge axis where it meets the fixed wing, or may be otherwise folded or curved to lower the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip.
