The invention relates to a device comprising an asymmetrical wing profile (2) and an adjusting device (15), which asymmetrical wing profile (2) has a profile thickness (q) and a profile chord (p) extending between a wing leading edge (n) and a wing trailing edge (e), which asymmetrical wing profile (2) has, in at least one longitudinal portion (L1-Ln), a three-part variable wing profile (21) in which a front and a rear wing segment (211, 213) are joined to a central wing segment (212) in an articulated manner by means of two hinges (214) having axes of rotation (z) and are designed to permit a rotational movement about the associated axis of rotation (z) with respect to the central wing segment (212).
