Abstract

The invention relates to a wing having a flexible wing structure and controlled by moving the center of gravity, comprising: a flexible wing structure (2) including a supporting keel (7) provided with at least one leading edge spar (8) defining an arrow, a flexible sail (11) being stretched over the spar so as to define a leading edge (12) and a trailing edge (13) and, on either side, two half-sails (H1, H2); and a controlling structure (3) supported by the flexible wing structure, said wing comprising: a controlled system (20) for modifying the transverse tension of the sail (11) at the trailing edge (13) thereof in order to control at least the twist of the tips of the wing structure and the lobe of the wing structure; and a device (21) for controlling, during flight, the system (20) for modifying the transverse tension.
