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

They're using the existing surfaces with new control laws to
control wing twist (or warping) for stability and control.
One of the mods to allow more twist was to mod the wing back
to the way it was when the airplane first flew in 1979, when
wing flexibility was a problem, not a solution. From the
outside it doesn't look much different from an old Hornet.
