A control surface of an aircraft comprises a fixed skin panel, a first flexurally elastic skin panel and a second flexurally elastic skin panel, which is connected to the first flexurally elastic skin panel and is configured to at least partially overlap the fixed skin panel. Furthermore, the control surface comprises an actuator system, which is configured to move the second flexurally elastic skin panel parallel to the fixed skin panel, wherein the actuator system has a fixed structural element arranged in a root region of the control surface, and a structural element that is movable relative to the fixed structural element.
