A wing having a cantilevered support for changing the camber thereof is attached at a stressed wing portion so as to be pivotable about an axis rigidly attached to the wing. Sliding carriages having gear wheels are attached in a guide channel in the wing cantilevered support and a toothed rack attached at a landing flap is guided between the gear wheels so that the distance traveled by the sliding carriage can be selected to be different from the distance through which the flap travels during lowering or extension thereof. Actuation of the landing flap occurs by means of a hinged crank and a connecting rod which drives the sliding carriage and, in order to cover a gap between the flap and a spoiler which is provided, the spoiler is designed with a flexible configuration.
