I am leaning that way on my next aero vehicle. I understand it adds cost and complexity, but I still want to get the most aerodynamic benefit in the configuration as possible.
As a matter of fact, I have what I believe is an ideal, lightweight way to do it. Just not ready to blab about that now.

It's been on my list long time.And I think off the shelf technology could do it,yesterday.
Cost,complexity,lifespan,parts,service,........... .... the whole echilada,will always play its part in the market.
If it's a net profit proposition in light of the 'headache' then maybe.
Certainly,it's no impediment to whacko's like us who want to push that envelope to bursting.
Sensors,logic,A-to-D converters,op-amps,solenoids,servos,pneumatcs,hydraulics,cables, springs,air pumps,vacuum pumps,FLIR,acoustics,optical recognition,laser-ranging,..................... there's a vast toolbag awaiting us.
