A vertical stabilizer for an aircraft having a fixed portion for attachment to an aircraft fuselage and a moveable portion coupled to the fixed portion by a hinge. The moveable portion of the vertical stabilizer is able to rotate about the hinge. As gusts of wind act on the moveable portion of the vertical stabilizer, the moveable portion rotates about the hinge preventing any loading due to the gusts from being transferred onto the aircraft fuselage, thereby providing gust load alleviation.
