An aerofoil for an aircraft, comprising a first lift body, a second lift body which is arranged behind the first lift body in a direction of flow of the aerofoil, the second lift body being pivotable relative to the first lift body between a cruising flight position in which both lift bodies together define an elongate and substantially continuous cross section of the aerofoil in the direction of flow, and a take-off/landing position in which the second lift body is angled downwards relative to the first lift body in order to increase a lift of the aerofoil, and an engine mounted in the first lift body or in the second lift body, wherein, in the cruising flight position, the engine is configured to be sunk in the respective lift body in which the engine is mounted, and in the take-off/landing position, the engine is moved out of the respective lift body in which the engine is mounted.
