A rudder system for an aircraft includes a center box, a rudder and actuators, wherein the rudder is pivoted around a hinge line relative to the center box. The actuators are arranged at an acute angle relative to the hinge line, and connected with at least one pivoted pivot lever, wherein the pivot lever is fastened to the rudder by way of a first push rod. This provides considerably more installation space in a vertical stabilizer of an aircraft for a center box, so that the latter can comprise a distinctly smaller wall thickness than usual in prior art to absorb air load-induced torsion and bending stresses.
