The aircraft (10) has a body (12) with a pair of airfoils (14-1, 14-2) distant from each other in a transverse direction (y), where each airfoil includes inner airfoil sections (16-1, 16-2) and outer airfoil sections (20-1, 20-2). The inner sections are fixedly arranged with respect to the body. The outer sections are pivotable around pivot axes (18-1, 18-2) and connected to the inner sections. The pivot axes are oriented in a direction deviated from a longitudinal direction (x) of the aircraft around 20 degrees. A control device (24) controls automatic pivoting of the outer sections. An independent claim is also included for a method for changing geometry of an aircraft.
