    @naturespirit14 The Winglets increase wing efficiency. They don’t generate their own left. They just prevent wind vortices that produces lift-induced drag.

    the wingtips on the plane generate more lift. apparently it can create the same amount of lift as a doubling the wing size, thats what i heard anyway :)

    F-15Cs seem to use spoilers during approach\ though which I believe is very strange but maybe its because its a coherently unstable aircraft that it may be able to exit the approach at a quicker time.

    Reverse thrust: Bring the thrust all the way down, then keep bringing it down until the engine cowling folds back or slides back (jet aircraft) with turboprops the propellers just spin in the opposite direct but those planes are so light weight that most modern runways don’t require them.
    Wait until the nose gear hits then throw em on, otherwise the nose gear will come down like a hammer. Long as you’re not going too fast and don’t suspend the nose gear too long.

    Wrong! They are sometimes used right when expanding the flaps (so they don’t gain too much altitude).

    You can’t use spoilers and speed brakes when you are in the air. You need to use it when you landed. If you use it when the plane is in the air the can brake and the airplane will crash

    the reason they …
    the reason they reduce lift is because the angle of attack decreases and reduces the efficiency of the air over the wing.
