ABSTRACT:
A wing, in particular a airfoil of an aircraft, with a variable profile shape, which wing comprises a first skin and a second skin and a supporting structure, arranged between the first and the second skin, which supporting structure in the direction of the wing depth extends between a first end and a second end, wherein the form of said supporting structure, for the purpose of varying the profile shape by means of a drive device comprising drive elements, is variable. The supporting structure comprises ribs, arranged one behind the other in the direction of the wing depth, which ribs at connection positions are interconnected so as to be articulated, wherein said ribs at first connection positions are connected to the first skin, and at second connection positions are connected to the second skin. For the purpose of setting the variable profile the mutual spacing of the second connection positions can be varied by means of the drive elements.
