In another post we were talking about soaring vs. flapping flight.
He tried this in rec.aviation.military and has had it explained to him what
wing warping is, that many birds do soar and that the military doesn't have
airplanes with flapping wings.

They are, however, coming back around to wing-warping. IIRC there's
an F-18 with variable-camber composite wings in test flights now.
