2. Air brake (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

   Often, characteristics of both spoilers and air brakes are desirable and are combined - most modern airliner jets feature combined spoiler and air brake controls. On landing, the deployment of these spoilers ("lift dumpers") causes a significant reduction in wing lift, so the weight of the aircraft is transferred from the wings to the undercarriage.

3. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   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 ...

4. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

   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 ...

5. ATA 100 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_100

   The standard numbering system was published by the Air Transport Association on June 1, 1956. While the ATA 100 numbering system has been superseded, it continued to be widely used until it went out of date in 2015, especially in documentation for general aviation aircraft, on aircraft Fault Messages (for Post Flight Troubleshooting and Repair ...

6. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

   Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.

7. Relay valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_valve

   A relay valve is an air-operated valve typically used in air brake systems to remotely control the brakes at the rear of a heavy truck or semi-trailer in a tractor-trailer combination. Relay valves are necessary in heavy trucks in order to speed-up rear-brake application and release, since air takes longer to travel to the rear of the vehicle ...

9. Talk:Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   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 ...
