Claim 9:
10. The system of claim 9, further including one or more sensors located onboard the aircraft, wherein the one or more sensors are operatively connected to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to acquire sensor data about a current temperature of the super elastic material members, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
compare the current temperature of the super elastic material members to a target temperature for the super elastic material members to achieve a target stiffness profile for the super elastic material members; and
when the current temperature of the super elastic material members is different than the target temperature for the super elastic material members, causing the supply of electrical energy to the super elastic material members to be adjusted.
