Nice plane! Did you see It in paper skies video too?

What was the purpose of it?

Higher wing area for take off and landing for better low speed handling and lower stall speed, which could then be reduced during flight to reduce drag, allowing for better speed and acceleration.

Pretty cool. Thanks for the info!

Basically an early attempt at variable wing geometry.

It was intended to be used for weddings and other events. The wings would carry surprise messages which would slowly reveal over a watching crowd.
The plane would climb to altitude, retract the wings and dive on the audience. Unfolding the message as it fell.

The first picture looks like Scaled Composites time traveled.

In flight adjustable wing area? Cool idea.
