A stator vane for a gas turbine engine section includes a stator vane (120) having an airfoil (122, 140) extending between a leading edge (124, 146) and a trailing edge (138, 152). The airfoil (132, 140) has a suction side (126, 144) and a pressure side (128, 142). There is at least one piezoelectric actuator (130, 134, 148, 150) for changing a shape of at least one of the leading edge (124, 146) and the trailing edge (138, 152). A gas turbine engine (20) is also disclosed.
