English term or phrase: spoilers quickly rose
After receiving my acceptances, I needed to fly back to Hong Kong for personal reasons. While I travelling on the aircraft, I kept thinking about that question; to enroll or not to enroll? Just when the plane touched down, the spoilers quickly rose, and the mechanism inside the wing came into my view.

In landing, once an airplane hits the runway it must be stopped in a relatively short distance. This video describes the systems big airliners use for braking.

Aeroplane wing air brakes while landing

they look to me EXACTLY the same as "spoilers"

Enjoy the "perfect wing view" on this Lufthansa A320, providing an incredible view of the flaps, the spoilers and the ground as we land in Frankfurt.

les volets déporteurs s'ouvrirent très vite


Explanation:
SPOILER is not AIRBRAKE
SPOILER = DEPORTEUR (VOLET...)
SPOILER = GENERATEUR DE TURBULENCE/TOURBILLON(S)
SPOILER = DESTRUCTEUR DE PORTANCE

disagree  Daryo: REALITY CHECK: whatever any glossary says, HERE it's about panels flipping off the wing to act as airbrakes immediately after landing Standard Operating Procedure - just basic interest in aviation is enough, no need to have pilot licence to know it

  -> You're damn'd right !!! A glossary cannot make an aircraft fly, I hope engineers will never mix spoilers with airbrakes. In reality the term "spoiler" is rarely translated in technical language (even in french, spanish, german or arabic)
