Air brakes act to slow the plane down, spoilers act to kill off lift. Flaperons and elevons act 'as ailerons', spoilers are an alternate method of controlling roll instead of or in conjunction with ailerons.

The British "nickname" Achilles is exactly in keeping with their system of designating SPGs with "A" names. Achilles, Archer, Alecto. Again not a "nickname".

Either it was ALL early compressors, of ALL types lacked efficiency, or they had doubts about the feasibility of axial-type turbojets specifically, not turbo jets in particular. , not
