Provided is a cross-medium aircraft with a changeable shape like a sailfish. The streamline type appearance of the sailfish is simulated by a machine body (2). A head pointed cone (1) is arranged at the head portion of the machine body (2) to divide water flow. A pair of angle-changeable water wings (3) are installed on the two sides of the front portion of the machine body (2) respectively. The aircraft is controlled to sink or float in water by adjusting the positive tapping angle and the negative tapping angle of the pair of angle-changeable water wings (3). A pair of scale-shaped rectifying covers are installed on the two sides of the middle of the machine body (2) respectively. A pair of self-adaption spiral paddles (4) capable of rotating in an inclined mode are installed on the scale-shaped rectifying covers (5) through a pair of spherical multi-freedom-degree linkage steering gears (6). An X-shaped tail wing (7) is arranged at the middle rear section of the machine body (2). An underwater-propulsion spiral paddle (8) is installed at the tail portion of the machine body (2). By means of the cross-medium aircraft, the design principles and bionics principles of the aircraft and an autonomous underwater vehicle are successfully applied, and the designed cross-medium aircraft has the good running capacity in fluid of two different types including air and water.
