A vertical stabilizer for an aircraft, including a fin, pivotable rudder, rudder adjustment arrangement, and vortex generator arrangement having on each side of the fin a turbulence generation element, each turbulence generation element disposed in a surface section of the fin and mounted moveably between a first, retracted position, where it is retracted into an interior space of the fin, and a second, extended position, where it projects at least partially outwardly from the fin transversely with respect to the surface section, and a turbulence generation element adjustment arrangement which is coupled to the rudder. The turbulence generation element adjustment arrangement engages the turbulence generation elements to move them. In a range of angular positions of the rudder, the turbulence generation element adjustment arrangement is inoperative for causing a movement of the turbulence generation elements out of the first position.
