A vehicle comprising a morphing wing and a body is disclosed. The aircraft is configured to transform from a first configuration into a second configuration for ascent or descent of the aircraft. The drag force and lift force on the aircraft in the second configuration are less than in the first configuration. Transforming from the first to the second configuration comprises: contracting the wing within a geometric plane defined by the wing, and rotating the outer edge of the wing downwards, out of the geometric plane.
