Spoilers
Controls which can be deployed into the airflow to 'spoil' the lift. Usually found on gliders and used to aid landing.

Spoilers are devices fitted to the wing which increase drag and decrease lift. They usually consist of a long narrow strip of metal arranged spanwise along the top surface of the airfoil.
Spoiler(s) Control surfaces on the wing that destroy lift. They "spoil" it. They are used on sail-planes because they can steepen the very flat glide of the aircraft, which makes landings much easier.
SPOILER - A long, movable, narrow plate along the upper surface of an airplane wing used to reduce lift and increase drag by breaking or spoiling the smoothness of the airflow.
Spoiler: A device to reduce lift of a wing surface in order to increase sinking rate of a glider or aeroplane.
Spoilers
Special panels built into the upper surface of the wing that, when raised, "spoil" the flow of air across the wing and thereby reduce the amount of lift generated. They are useful for expediting a descent.

Spoiler levers, which are used to control the position of spoilers on the wings, and to arm their automatic deployment in aircraft designed to deploy them upon landing.
SPOILERS - Drag-inducing surfaces which can be deployed differentially for lateral control, or simultaneously for lift dumping to improve the effectiveness of landing brakes.

2. Spoiler and Brake Lever :
Front - Located at left side of cockpit under instrument panel.
Rear - Located at center left of front seat back.
3. Control sticks:
Front and Rear - are conventional and both are mounted on a single torque tube.
Spoilers The spoilers are used like air brakes to reduce any remaining lift and slow down the airplane.
Spoilers Spoilers are parts of the wing which are used to roll the aircraft and to decrease lift and increase drag during landings.
The use of spoilers on top of the wings can help to spoil the unwanted generation of lift. These spoilers should be used when anticipated windspeeds exceed the liftoff speed of the aircraft and attached spanwise at 25% chord.
The slip can be viewed exactly the same as spoilers on a glider. Spoilers can be put all the way out or left in and varied in such a way that the glide slope can be subtly modified to make it come out exactly where the pilot wants.
The shape of the top of the wing is crucial. A spoiler at location “X” in figure 3.10 could easily double the drag of the entire airplane.
The bullets don't hit each other, and even if they did, it wouldn't affect lift production.
