Aircraft Wing Spoiler

Aircraft wing spoilers are devices installed on the wings of an aircraft to disrupt the airflow over the wing surface. They are part of the supply class Airframe Structural Components, which refers to the various components that make up the structure of an aircraft.

Spoilers are typically located on the upper surface of the wing and can be extended or retracted as needed. When deployed, they disrupt the smooth airflow over the wing, creating turbulence and reducing lift. This helps to control the aircraft's speed, descent rate, and angle of descent during landing or other maneuvers.

In addition to their role in flight control, wing spoilers also contribute to the overall structural integrity of the aircraft. They are designed to withstand the aerodynamic forces and stresses encountered during flight.

Aircraft wing spoilers are classified under the supply group Aerospace Craft And Structural Components, which encompasses a wide range of components used in the construction and maintenance of aerospace craft. This includes not only structural components like wing spoilers but also other systems and equipment necessary for the operation of the aircraft.
