Abstract: This relates to changes in wing profiles. In order to make available an aerodynamic structure that can be variably adjusted and changed with respect to the wing profile, it is provided that an aerodynamic structure for a wing or rudder arrangement of an aircraft comprises a support structure and an outer skin. The support structure comprises a fixed spar in the longitudinal direction, which extends from a root area to an outer end area. The support structure also comprises several adaptive framework segments in the transverse direction, which each consist of a plurality of strung together triangular compartments, which are formed by fixed-length guide elements and adjustable-length guide elements The framework segments are joined to the fixed spar. At least one side of a portion of the triangular compartments comprises one of the adjustable guide elements, so that the shape of the framework segments can be adjusted.

In order to provide an aerodynamic structure that can be variably adjusted and changed with respect to the wing profile, it is provided that an aerodynamic structure for a wing or rudder arrangement of an aircraft comprises a support structure and an outer skin. The support structure comprises an adaptive surface support structure in a longitudinal direction, which extends in a longitudinal direction from a root area to an outer end area, and is formed by a support surface, which comprises an adjustable periodic profiling that runs in the transverse direction, in which first flange areas and second flange areas are alternatingly formed, and joined together by web areas running in the direction of a profile height. Alternatingly aligned open profile segments running in the longitudinal direction are here formed.

Abstract: A helical actuator includes a plurality of piezo elements for controlling a rotor blade of an aircraft. In this case, the actuator is designed to be arranged so as to be wound around a rotor blade neck and to be fastened to a rotor mast and a rotor blade in each case. Applying a control voltage to the piezo elements causes the actuator to expand, which, in turn, causes the rotor blade to rotate.
