   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(aeronautics)

   Spoiler controls can be used for roll control (outboard or mid-span spoilers) or descent control (inboard spoilers). Some aircraft use spoilers in combination with or in lieu of ailerons for roll control, primarily to reduce adverse yaw when rudder input is limited by higher speeds. For such spoilers the term spoileron has been coined. In the ...

   Air brakes are used to increase drag. Spoilers might act as air brakes, but are not pure air brakes as they also function as lift-dumpers or in some cases as roll control surfaces. Air brakes are usually surfaces that deflect outwards from the fuselage (in most cases symmetrically on opposing sides) into the airstream in order to increase form ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spoiler_(aeronautics)

   Air brakes are inboard spoilers, I don't think there should be just a hard and fast differentiation between air brakes and spoilers. When you are airbraking on the ground you extend both inboard and outboard spoilers, (or the armed hydraulic system does, after it detects weight on wheels in an airliner), if you are spoiling off speed in the air ...
