A device for damping at least one rigid body mode and/or at least one elastic mode of an aircraft, especially for blast load reduction and increase of stability and comfort, in an airplane having at least one sensor, a regulation unit connected to the sensor, and at least one actuator controlling, guiding and/or regulating surfaces of the aircraft. The controller modifies the rigid body modes and/or the one or more elastic modes of the aircraft. With only one sensor signal of a sensor, which is preferably an acceleration signal, an arbitrary number and an arbitrary combination of rigid body modes and/or elastic modes, respectively, may specifically be modified, and the modes obtained are not influenced.
