This relates to changes in wing profiles. In order to provide an aerodynamic structure that can be variably adjusted and changed with respect to the wing profile, it is provided that an aerodynamic structure for a wing or rudder arrangement of an aircraft comprises a support structure and an outer skin. The support structure comprises an adaptive surface support structure in a longitudinal direction, which extends in a longitudinal direction from a root area to an outer end area, and is formed by a support surface, which comprises an adjustable periodic profiling that runs in the transverse direction, in which first flange areas and second flange areas are alternatingly formed, and joined together by web areas running in the direction of a profile height. Alternatingly aligned open profile segments running in the longitudinal direction are here formed.
