Abstract
An aircraft with aerofoils including a main wing and a control flap that includes an adjustment flap. The aircraft includes an actuator for the control flap, as well as a sensor device for acquiring the position of the control flap, an arrangement of flow-influencing devices for influencing the fluid that flows over a segment of the main wing, and flow-state sensor devices for measuring the flow state. The aircraft includes a flight control device connected to the sensor device for acquiring the position of the control flap and to the flow-state sensor devices, and connected to the actuator and flow-influencing devices for transmitting actuating commands, and a flight-state sensor device connected to the flight control device for transmitting flight states. The flight control device includes a function that selects the flow-influencing devices that are operated for optimizing local lift coefficients on the aerofoil, depending on the flight state.
