A wing segment for an aircraft includes a first skin element with a material having anisotropic characteristics and a rib element arranged between leading and trailing edges of the wing segment. The first skin element is attached to the rib element such that deformation of the skin element results in a twist of the wing segment with respect to a main extension direction of the wing segment. The wing segment further includes a control unit to control deformation of the skin element in order to adjust the twist of the wing segment to achieve a predetermined twist of the wing segment.
