Abstract

A removeable spoiler is described for reducing the wing lift of parked aircraft. It includes a spoiler member in the form of a strip temporarily mountable to stand upright and project into the airstream on the top of the wing. It extends parallel to the wing axis and is supported by a clamp contacting the outer surface of the wing for securing the spoiler to the wing.
