Spoilers are the hardworking immigrants of aerodynamics. Ailerons are the rich white suburban teenagers.

Dig the old FedEx 727. No engines, just sitting out there and rotting in the sun.

Winglet*
It’s like a wing had a baby. One day the little winglet hopes to grow up to be a big, important wing like its father/mother?

The things on top of the actual wing slightly lifted up are called spoilers because the pilots use the to spoil the airflow.
