Do you have a feel for how the maneuverability of a B-1 being controlled by the canards compares to that of a typical airliner?
It seems like a system like this would need to respond very quickly to changes in the air mass, and the weight and slow response of an airliner might make this system less feasible unless you could somehow measure airflow a reasonable distance in front of the plane.
