A wing for the propulsion of a craft includes an external envelope and at least one profile structure surrounded by the external envelope. The profile structure has an articulated internal structure and an assembly of controllers to control a deformation of the external envelope. Each controller is rotatably mounted with respect to the internal structure. Each controller is also rotatably mounted with respect to the external envelope through at least one rotating link, and includes at least one curved surface configured to orient a curvature of the external envelope locally between a controller and an adjacent control controller.
