First a different torque loading path in the structure, which resulted in torque being directly reacted from root to wing tip. Secondly, a new SMA actuator was developed, with a measured blocking torque of 3500 $POM 100 in-lb. The second round of tunnel test not only demonstrated increased wing twist; we also were able to command a variety of twist angles and were able to show that the wing could maintain a predetermined twist for over an hour with a stability of 0. 05 degrees. 1, record 2, English, - blocking%20torque
