A wing for an aircraft, comprising a main wing, a slat, and a connection assembly movably connecting the slat to the main wing, allowing the slat to be moved between a retracted and at least one extended position. The assembly comprises an elongate slat track mounted to the main wing movably along a track longitudinal axis and connected to the slat. The wing has a compact connection assembly that does not require the front spar to be penetrated, in that the slat track is rotatably connected to the slat via a first hinge. The assembly further comprises a link element rotatably connected to the slat via a second hinge, and rotatably mounted to the main wing via a third hinge spaced apart from the second hinge. Also, a first axis of rotation of the first hinge is spaced apart from a second axis of rotation of the second hinge.
