The claimed pneumatic wing has a continuous, airtight envelope (8) made of a textile base material and subdivided into cells (15) by a plurality of textile webs (3). The envelope (8) forms a top skin i (1) and a bottom skin (2), such that the top skin (1) in part (towards the down-draft edge (5)), the bottom skin (2) entirely or in part, can be supplemented by an upper and a lower double-skin (16, 17). The double-skins (16, 17) are connected to the envelope (8) between the attachme nt lines of the webs (3), thus forming between the envelope (8) and double skins (16, 17) channels (19) to which compressed air can likewise be admitted. This changes the shape of the wing profile. In addition, the webs (3) can in part have a similar airtight and double- walled design, here too creating channels (19) to which compressed air can be admitted. This reduces the height of the wing profile. With a suitable combination of these options, part of the wing can be designed as aileron or landing flap, or the wing as a whole can be optimized with respect to the selected flying speed.
