Selectively adjustable interface assembly
A system includes a first component, a second component, a locking pin, and an interface assembly that is configured to selectively adjust a stiffness of a coupling interface between the first component and the second component. The interface assembly includes at least one support coupler secured to the first component. The support coupler(s) includes a main body, a first arm extending from a first side of the main body, a second arm extending from a second side of the main body, and a flange extending from the main body. The flange includes a locking pin hole that is configured to selectively receive the locking pin. The locking pin is selectively moveable between a retracted position in which the locking pin is out of the locking pin hole, and a deployed position in which the locking pin extends into the locking pin hole and a portion of the first component and locks the interface assembly to the first component.
