Other than spoilers, where are speed brakes located?
- On the wing
- Under the Fuselage
- Either side of the Fuselage
Explanation from PART66Online
Apart from wing-mounted spoilers, dedicated speed brakes are fitted on either side of the fuselage, deploying into the airstream to add drag without dumping wing lift. Mounting them on the wing would simply duplicate the spoiler function.
