The invention relates to a wing segment (10) for an aircraft (100). The wing segment (10) comprises a first skin element (20) comprising a material having anisotropic material characteristics and a rib element (13) arranged between a leading edge (14) and a trailing edge (15) of the wing segment (10). The first skin element (20) is attached to the rib element (13) in such a way that a deformation of the skin element (13) results in a twist (40) of the wing segment (10) with respect to a main extension direction (12) of the wing segment (10). The wing segment (10) further comprises a control unit (30) for controlling a deformation of the skin element (13) in order to adjust the twist (40) of the wing segment (10) such that a predetermined twist (40) of the wing segment (10) is achievable.
