doors to automatic. I find it hard to believe that people don't understand what you are getting at. you are offering a new way of controlling the aircraft in the final stages of approach/touchdown.

I understand it perfectly and someday, someone aviation designers will use your advice. As I mentioned, the idea is well over 70 years old.

Some people have trouble understanding the use of speedbrakes as a term instead of spoilers. The idea is the same, deflection angles and other items are different, but the idea is there.


For the purpose of this discussion, let us stipulate to the idea that speed brakes and spoilers can be used interchangeably. OF COURSE some will point out that some spoilers are used for roll control, some are used only as ground spoilers. BUT LET US GET OVER IT>
