spoilerType

A spoiler is defined by its <outerShape> in the component segment (controlSurfaceOuterShapeSpoilerType); its upper surface is part of the upper surface of the wing. Its <path> describes how it is deflected (see controlSurfacePathType). <structure> describes its own structure, built like the structure of the wing; <wingCutOut> is not intended for spoilers (controlSurfaceWingCutOutType). A spoiler is only rotated about its hinge line; its hinge points are not translated. <tracks> and <actuators> describe the mechanical links to the component segment (controlSurfaceTrackTypeType, controlSurfaceActuatorType).

Example

The spoiler of the example in controlSurfacesType; the outer border is defined like the inner one:

<spoiler uID="Wing_spoiler">
    <name>Inner spoiler</name>

</spoiler>
