Illumination device (1) for illuminating the vertical tail plane (9) of an aircraft (2), comprising: - a matrix of LEDs (3) or lasers, - a laser diode (4) with a diffractive optical element (5), - an electronic board (6) with a microcontroller (16), - a power supply unit (7), and - a housing (8) that encloses one or all of the matrix of LEDs (3), the laser diode (4), the electronic board (6) and the power supply unit (7), wherein the LEDs (3) or lasers and the laser diode (4) are individually and electronically controlled by the microcontroller (16), in such a way that the LEDs (3) or lasers can be individually dimmed to create a dynamic illumination pattern (14) on the side surfaces of the vertical tail plane (9), the illumination pattern (14) being transmitted by the microcontroller (16), and the laser diode (4) with the diffractive optical element (15) can create a fixed figure on the side surfaces of the vertical tail plane (9). The invention also refers to an aircraft (2) with exterior illumination on its vertical tail plane (9), comprising such illumination devices (1).
