As I understand it (and I may be totally wrong here) The wings of smaller planes are attached to the fuselage with one or two large spars. If you wanted to make a variable incidince wing, concievebly you could rotate it around one of the forward spars. When I first posted the question I was thinking more of just rotating the wing 90 deg to reduce the form drag.
