Abstract:
An aircraft light for a foldable wing tip of an aircraft includes a first lighting structure, including at least one first light source and a first optical system, with the at least one first light source and the first optical system in operation generating a first light output; a second lighting structure, including at least one second light source and a second optical system, with the at least one second light source and the second optical system in operation generating a second light output; wherein the first light output and the second light output are of the same color and wherein the first light output and the second light output are angled with respect to each other; and wherein the aircraft light is configured to control the at least one first light source and the at least one second light source depending on a wing tip orientation signal, which is indicative of an orientation of the foldable wing tip.
