how about something like this?

a cap possibly a fabric covered frame or any other light constructionthat can swing up, and has build in struts to lock it in position

(i envision it a bit like a large hatchback) the sides in open configuration could be filled with fabric covers that when carefully designed could remain in place when the cover folds close, allowing good access, instant switch between aero and cargo
