Dave,
What about making the entire length of the blade from two parts, an iner core(that was fixed to the Head) this would ressemble the rotating part of an ordinary electric motor with sophisticated windings along its length, and the outer part(the blade face's) which would be the opposing part, by working out the resistance to certain parts of the length of the blade a differential reaction could be obtained that would be translated into a form or warping (twist) to desired areas of that outer skin or blade surface. The twist or warp being created by torque produced from the opposing parts of the "Linear windings in the blade, when electricity was introduced
By reversing polarity as can be done with ordinary electric motors to make them run in reverse this would then allow a reverse warp to be created on the outer surface of the construction.
To do this would need sophisticated computer controlled switchgearing to translate from the pilots hand controls to electronically produced twist inputs at the blade.
What dost you think, can I leave my day job now!
