Abstract: A wing has a changeable profile, and extends in a wing chord direction and perpendicularly thereto in a wingspan direction. The wing has a first cover skin and a second cover skin spaced apart from one another with spars therebetween. The wing includes a leading edge region and a trailing edge region opposite one another in the wing chord direction, and a wing tip region at the end of the wing in the wingspan direction. The wing further includes a flexible region that connects the wing tip region to the rest of the wing, and that is adapted to vary the profile of the wing in a direction that includes a component in the wing chord direction and a component in the wingspan direction.

Abstract: There is described a wing, especially lifting wing of an aircraft, with changeable profile, which extends in wing chord direction (5) running essentially in flow direction and perpendicularly thereto in wingspan direction (10), and comprises a first cover skin (55a) and lying opposite thereto a second cover skin (55b), and comprises a leading edge region (11) and a trailing edge region (12) with respect to the wing chord direction (5), as well as a wing tip region (14) at the end of the wing (1) with respect to the wingspan direction (10). According to the invention there is provided a flexible region (15) arranged near the wing end, by which the profile of the wing tip region (14) is adjustable in a direction that includes both a component in wing chord direction (5) as well as a component in wingspan direction (10).
