1. A structural element for an aircraft, the structural element comprising:
- an active element; and
a passive element;
wherein the active element is adapted for controllable or regulable active introduction of forces into the passive element; and
wherein the structural element is adapted to stiffen a fuselage, to reduce deformation of the fuselage, or to dampen vibrations in the fuselage.

Abstract
Nowadays floor structures in the fuselage of aeroplanes, which floor structures comprise transverse floor girders, are usually connected to the frame on the right and left by means of rivets and are in turn supported vertically downward by the frame by way of Samer rods. According to one embodiment of the present invention a structural element for an aircraft is stated, comprising an active element and a passive element. In this way additional stiffening of the fuselage, a reduction in fuselage deformation, or active vibration dampening can be provided without additional weight.
