   A view of the right wing of a Boeing 767-300ER during descent with spoilers partially deployed. Spoilers deployed to slow down for descent on a Qantas Boeing 737-800. In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way

4. Gurney flap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_flap

   The Gurney flap (or wickerbill) is a small tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure-side surface of the airfoil [2] and projects 1% to 2% of the wing chord. [3] This trailing edge device can improve the performance of a simple airfoil to nearly the same level as a complex high ...

   The rear portion of the lower surface of the airfoil hinges downwards from the leading edge of the flap, while the upper surface stays immobile. [10] This can cause large changes in longitudinal trim, pitching the nose either down or up. At full deflection, a split flaps acts much like a spoiler, adding significantly to drag coefficient.
