Claim 9:
10. The system of claim 9, further including one or more power sources operatively connected to supply electrical energy to the shape memory material member,
wherein the one or more processors are operatively connected to control a supply of electrical energy from the one or more power sources to the shape memory material member, the one or more processors being programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
detecting a wing morphing activation condition; and
responsive detecting the wing morphing activation condition, causing electrical energy to be supplied to the shape memory material member from the one or more power sources, whereby the shape memory material member is activated to cause a shape of the morphing member to change, whereby one or more aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft are changed.
