The assembly also includes an actuator operably coupled to the flexible portion. The actuator is configured to move the flexible portion between a first curvature relative to the rigid portion and a second curvature relative to the rigid portion. The assembly further includes a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller is configured to, in response to an operating condition being satisfied, control the actuator to move the flexible portion from the first curvature to the second curvature.
