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.
