Default sliding wings?

when I look at my eyeglass case, I see two closely overlapping
wing-type shapes that are being pulled apart for opening.

why would it not be worthwhile to extend wings this way for landing and
departure?


This is a solution in search of a problem.


Doesn't a swing wing accomplish pretty much the same thing?
