Aerial vehicle

An aerial vehicle (1) comprising a first wing (11) and a second wing (12), each of the first (11) and the second wing (12) comprising a pressurized compartment (13), defined by a pressurized wing skin (14), for receiving a payload, wherein each of the first (11) and the second wing (12) comprises:

• a first wing portion (16) having a first leading edge sweep angle (Λ1,TE) and a first trailing edge sweep angle (Λ1,TE),
• a second wing portion (17) having a second leading edge sweep angle (Λ2,TE) and a second trailing edge sweep angle (Λ2,TE) that respectively differ in magnitude from the first leading edge sweep angle (Λ1,LE) and the first trailing edge sweep angle (Λ1,TE), and
• a transition wing portion (18) connecting the first wing portion (16) and the second wing portion (17) to each other, the transition wing portion (17) defined, when seen in a spanwise direction (y), in between a streamwise-oriented line (181) through a point at the trailing edge (19) of the wing (11, 12) where the first trailing edge sweep angle (Λ1,TE) transitions to a transition trailing edge sweep angle (ΛT,TE) and the streamwise-oriented line (182) through a point at the leading edge (20) of the wing (11, 12) where the transition leading edge sweep angle (ΛT,LE) transitions to the second leading edge sweep angle (Λ2,LE), wherein the pressurized compartment (13) is arranged inside of the first wing portion (16) as well as inside of the transition wing portion (18), wherein the pressurized wing skin (14) defining the pressurized compartment (13) comprises a tip-facing end (144) and an aft-facing end (145), wherein the aft-facing end (145) of the pressurized wing skin (14), when seen from the trailing edge (19) of the wing (11, 12), follows an end of the pressurized compartment (13) and is at least partially arranged in the transition wing portion (18), and wherein the tip-facing end (144) of the pressurized compartment (13), when seen from the leading edge (20) of the wing (11, 12), is positioned in the transition wing portion (18) and extends in the streamwise direction, until it meets the aft-facing end (145).
