ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a contoured wing intended to serve as a airfoil or a blade. This wing comprises a longitudinal stringer (3), a plurality of juxtaposed wing sectors (1, 2), each articulated about the stringer, a series of cranks (7), each crank associated with a sector in such a manner as to fix the angular position thereof about the stringer, and a control device (10) for the cranks, able to cause their pivoting. The wing according to the invention permits control of the angle, continuously and progressively variable along the contour. It may particularly be applied for use in beating wing aircraft.
