A device for illuminating a vertical tail plane of an aircraft, comprising a matrix of LEDs or lasers, a laser diode with a diffractive optical element, an electronic board with a microcontroller, a power supply unit and a housing enclosing one or more of the matrix of LEDs, the laser diode, the electronic board and the power supply unit. The LEDs or lasers and the laser diode are individually and electronically controlled by the microcontroller, in such a way that the LEDs or lasers can be individually dimmed to create a dynamic illumination pattern on the side surfaces of the vertical tail plane. The illumination pattern is transmitted by the microcontroller. The laser diode with the diffractive optical element can create a fixed figure on the side surfaces of the vertical tail plane. An aircraft is provided with exterior illumination on its vertical tail plane, comprising such illumination devices.
