Also, I was a bit puzzled about your comment on gliders:

Of course
they have speed-brakes, but that is for bad planners and landings in tight spots.
As a glider pilot you would know that they are not speed brakes, but are used to control rate of descent and are used in all landings, whether a tight spot or not, and not as a result of bad planning.
