One regularly hears the terms "speed brakes", "spoilers", and "lift dumpers" and I am never really sure if these are all different things or fundamentally the same. I used to fly a (light) aircraft that had airbrakes on the underside of the wing. I'm guessing that's not the case on a commercial jets though.
