An aircraft wing has an upper surface element and a first actuator powered mechanism for varying the shape of the surface element which includes: an upstream segment SEG1, a downstream segment SEG2, an interconnecting segment SEG3 interconnecting a downstream edge of SEG1 with an upstream edge of SEG2, wherein the interconnecting segment SEG3 extends along the whole or at least a major part of the downstream edge of SEG1 and the whole or at least a major part of the upstream edge of SEG2, and a link element LNK interconnecting an upstream edge of SEG1 with an upper surface of the aircraft wing, and the first mechanism interconnecting a contact C1 on a lower side of the upper surface element with a contact C2 on an inner structure of the airfoil. The first mechanism controls the shape of the upper surface element by controlling the distance between C1 and C2.
