A method for stabilizing a motion of a rotor blade of a rotor comprising the steps: read into a controller, a measurement from a sensor responsive to said rotor blade; determine an out-of-compliance motion of the rotor blade; and output a first control signal to an actuator affecting the rotor blade such that a vibration mode of said rotor blade is dampened. The damping may be achieved by changing the drag, lift or torsion of the rotor blade. The out-of-compliance motion may be a lead, lag, upward motion, downward motion or twist of the rotor blade away from a nominal value.
