An airfoil comprising a main wing and a high-lift body. The high-lift body defines a concave recess. The airfoil further comprises a sealing device having two sealing elements arranged in the concave recess. The sealing elements are plate-shaped and abut sectionally on the high-lift body and have side faces extending perpendicularly to the common rotational axis. When the high-lift body is moved between a retracted position and a deployed position, the sealing elements rotate relative to the main wing and relative to each other, such that an overlap between the sealing elements is smaller when the high-lift body is in the deployed position than when the high-lift body is in the retracted position.
