ABSTRACT:
A lift body has a variable camber to achieve a flow-favorable profile. The lift body has a structure which is elastically deformable at least in one area. An integrated adjusting device includes at least one dimensionally stable adjusting body which can be rotated about an axis and which is in an operative connection with the deformable structure. Each adjusting body has a curved conical shape whose local cross-section corresponds to the local profile thickness. Each adjusting body is in a direct and/or, via a sliding layer, an indirect contact with the deformable structure.
