  1. Function over form.

  2. Wing warping alters the geometry of the wing, which means it alters RCS like an aileron

  3. ​ @cdl0 it does cause far more fatigue across the wing though, due to torsion, so not ideal

  4. ​ @cdl0 simply not worth it vs conventional ailerons, given the RCS disadvantage

  5. Looks like an exhaust, possibly from a heat exchanger

  6. Looks don't really matter for testbed aircraft
