The idea of looking ahead at turbulence and preparing for it is good, but it has to be done with a technology that doesn't require placing an enormous pole in the air, e.g. laser, radar, etc.
The longer the plane, the further between the nose and the leading edge of the wing. So the more time you have.
also aren’t turbulent more likely when you are lower than at final cruise altitude? Wouldn’t the plane be going slower than anyway for fuel savings in the denser air?
Even if it would only work on longer/larger jets it could still be very helpful.
