1. An air vehicle (1) comprising:
a body (2),
a wing (3) located on the body (2) and creating a lifting force for flight of the body (2),
a control surface (4) located on the wing (3) and movable along a direction in which the wing (3) extends, the control surface (4) having an open position (O) in which the control surface (4) moves out of the wing (3) along the direction in which the wing (3) extends and increases the lifting force acting on the body (2) and a closed position (C) in which the control surface (4) is moved from the open position (O) and brought into the wing (3),
a main actuator (5) moving the control surface (4) between the open position (O) and the closed position (C),
at least one shaft (6) enabling the control surface (4) to be moved with triggering of the main actuator (5) and having one end connected to the control surface (4), and
an additional actuator (7) enabling an attack angle of the wing (3) to be changed by rotating the wing (3) on the body (2),
a support element (8) located on the wing (3) and enabling the wing (3) to be movably connected onto the body (2), an opening (9) extending thoroughly within the support element (8) and enabling the shaft (6) to trigger the control surface (4), and
wherein the additional actuator (7) is located in connection with the support element (8) and enables the wing (3) to be rotated around the shaft (6) located within the opening (9) by triggering the support element (8), the shaft (6) rotating around an axis thereof along a direction in which the shaft (6) extends within the support element (8) and extending from the opening (9) towards the control surface (4), enabling the control surface (4) to be extended telescopically outward from the wing (3) with the main actuator (5) triggering the control surface (4) and thus enabling the control surface (4) to be moved between the open position (O) and the closed position (C) irrespective of the additional actuator (7) triggering the wing (3).
