B-1B 'Lancer' heavy bomber on diplay at the Grand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) 'Friends And Neighbors Day' on May 27th 1989.
The length of the aircraft presented a flexing problem due to air turbulence at low altitude. To alleviate this, Rockwell included small triangular fin control surfaces or vanes near the nose on the B-1. The B-1's Structural Mode Control System rotates the vanes automatically to counteract turbulence and smooth out the ride. (Wikipedia)
