Image DSCF0645.JPG thumb right A close look at the spoiler the parts of the wing that are raised up during the landing of an Airbus A321 . In aeronautics , a spoiler sometimes called a lift dumper is a device intended to reduce lift force lift in an aircraft. Spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing which can be extended upward into the airflow and spoil it. By doing so, the spoiler creates a carefully controlled Stall flight stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from air brake aircraft airbrakes in that airbrakes are designed to increase drag making little change to lift, while spoilers greatly reduce lift making only a moderate increase in drag. Spoilers are used by some older Glider sailplane gliders to control their rate of descent and thus achieve a controlled landing at a desired spot. An increased rate of descent could also be achieved by lowering the nose of an aircraft, but this would result in an excessive landing speed. However spoilers enable the approach to be made at a safe speed for landing. Airliner s too are usually fitted with spoilers. Spoilers are sometimes used when descending from cruise altitudes to assist the aircraft in descending to lower altitudes without picking up speed. Their use is often limited, however, as turbulent airflow which develops behind them causes noticeable noise and vibration, which may cause discomfort to extra sensitive passengers.

Unreferenced date November 2008 A lame duck , in the context of a game , is a player who remains in the game but has no chance of winning. It must be literally impossible&mdash not merely highly improbable &mdash for a player to win for it to constitute a lame duck scenario. If a game frequently admits lame duck scenarios, this is considered a severe design flaw. Lame ducks are often found in sport . The teams that are eliminated from playoff contention are lame ducks, and have nothing remaining to play for, often with several weeks of games remaining on the schedule. In some cases, losing the remaining games can be more favorable than attempting to win them, due to more favorable positioning in a draft sports draft and the ability to land more talented players. Teams in Europe especially those without drafts discourage losing out by imposing a promotion and relegation relegation system that expels the lowest teams from the league. A draft lottery is used in some North American professional leagues to discourage losing out by randomizing who gets the top draft picks, while still assuring the less talented teams have access to the players necessary to compete. A kingmaker scenario kingmaker is a lame duck who retains the ability to select who, among other players, will win the game. In sports, the spoiler effect spoiler plays a similar role.
