interesting, i have seen something like this on discovery or history channels, in this planes case (RC at that, cant rember what show it was on but it talked about aerodynamics) the wings where not ridged, and kind of flowed with the thrust of the motor but where able to control the plane to, interesting system, the flowing wing tilt allowd the plane to not tip stall, it would fall to the ground with more control in a landing situation, odd but worked great.

Infact the first plane built by the wright brothers used a wing twisting method of control. pulling and twisting the wood frame with strings, it actuallyed worked, and also f-16's and many other planes use this concept for the rear wings not the main ones, but the rear wing is the elevator.
minor versions of this same concept in various parts of aviation, not to hard to picture them all togeather.
I have thought about this my self but never realy got into the project, i have a million RC projects and it just never rose to the top of the list.
