A system for connecting two relatively movable structures on an aircraft, comprising: a first rigid structure (11) attached to one of the relatively movable rigid structures (12) ; a second rigid structure attached to another of the relatively movable structures; a flexible skin (8) connected to the first and second rigid structures; a sleeve (34); a first rod (26) comprising a first end portion attached to the first rigid structure, a second end portion slidably coupled to a first end portion of the sleeve (34) , and an intermediate portion made of shape memory alloy; a second rod (28) comprising a first end portion attached to the second rigid structure, a second end portion slidably coupled to a second end portion of the sleeve (34), and an intermediate portion made of shape memory alloy; and means (36) for heating at least the intermediate portions of the first and second rods. |
