Spoilers and Horizontal stab authority - any issues?
Whilst bored and sitting at the back of a 757 recently, I started thinking about the rumble and gentle shimmy from the spoilers that is discernable when they kick up. Does the turbulent air cause a/c designers any problems, or restrictive operating conditions?
Although they're mounted outboard (clear of the elevators)are there any issues with airflow when the aircraft banks or side-slips?
Just curious.
