The present development relates to an improved wing having a tip tank assembly. The tip tank assembly is attached to a distal end of an outer wing section. The tip tank assembly includes a tank, a pair of mounting brackets and a fairing assembly. The fairing assembly includes a nose piece, a central piece, a tail piece, an inner end plate, and an upper close out piece. The inner end plate extends perpendicularly downward from a lower surface of the outer wing section eventually terminating at a bottom portion of the central piece. The inner end plate acts as an air dam to trap high pressure air that is generated during flight, substantially increasing the lift of the wing. Lastly, the upper close out piece extends between an upper wing surface and an upper portion of the central piece increasing the overall wingspan of the aircraft.
