Do turbo-props have spoilers on the wing?

Recommended Posts

Guest

Hello,Do turbo props have spoilers on the wing, just like jets?I ask this because there are no spoilers created on turbo props i download from sites, for example the Saab 340 from the freeware flight group or convair 580. I hope someone can answer this question!Best regards,

Sorta depends on the plane your talking about. Some do and some dont, the EMB-120 brasilla, saab 340 dont. However the Dash 7 and cessna 208 do. I'm not to sure whether the dash 8 does or not. So it just depends on the airframe in question and who makes it. Hope I answered it well enough for ya.

The MU-2 does... The flaps take up the entire wing, so rather than ailerons, it is turned with spoilerons... I don't know whether they are also used to slow the aircraft...-John

Hi !However, even if they do have spoilers, that does not mean you may always extend them manually. In Dash 8-300 for example they just help the ailerons to roll the plane at the low speeds. In other Dash-8s they also deploy on touchdown, but no manual deployment is possible.regardsOleksiy.
