An aircraft with a wing assembly includes a wing extending from the aircraft along a span wise centerline and having a first and second portions that define an interior space. A wing fold mechanism includes at least one linkage that connects the first portion to the second portion. An actuator is connected to the at least one linkage for moving the second portion relative to the first portion. The second portion is movable between a folded condition extending at an angle relative to the first portion and a deployed condition coextensive with and abutting the first portion to form a seam that completely encircles the span wise centerline so as to completely enclose the wing fold mechanism within the interior space.
