During certain aircraft flight phases, particularly during landing, it is necessary to quickly and strongly reduce the wing lift. This is achieved by rising dedicated wing control surfaces against the air flow going along the wing profile.
This is achieved with dedicated spoiler actuators that are currently most of the time hydraulically powered.
The rear horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft is used to stabilize the airframe during the flight. To adjust this stabilizer at an appropriate position, an actuator is used that drives it to required setting. On most recent aircraft, this actuator, mostly of ball screw type, is hydraulically or electrically driven.
