I would like to see if there is any benefit to variable or folding/extendable winglets - either in the lateral or longitudinal planes.

Modern technology and materials must have made this possible.

Folded for ground operations & high speed cruise & climb.

Extended for increased aspect ration benefits in takeoff, cruise and landing.

Any thoughts?
