A method and system for actuating an aircraft component is disclosed including an actuating material in which an actual deformation change undergone by the actuating material in response to an activation input signal is determined by analysis of an output signal generated by the actuating material in response to the actual deformation. At least a portion of the aircraft component includes an actuating material which undergoes deformation in response to the application of an electrical signal thereto, and which generates an electrical signal in response to a deformation of the actuating material. The method includes applying an activation input signal to the actuating material of the aircraft component, the activation input signal corresponding to a desired deformation of the actuating material, the actuating material of the aircraft component undergoing an actual deformation in response to the activation input signal, and generating an output signal representative of the actual deformation of the actuating material.
