> Am I correct when I say : > Slat are in front of the wing, Yes, but they can be on the trailing edge where the terms 'slat' and 'slot' can be used interchangeably. Generally in the UK they refer to them as 'leading edge slats'. Most modern aircraft include the 'slots' within the flap design (slotted flaps) but some older, weird and wonderful aircraft had them all over the place so it's worth noting the difference!
> Speedbrakes are on the top of the wing ( the extrados ? ) and can be used flying, On civilian aircraft and gliders this is usually the case. Military types can have them in different places - such as the F16 (on top of the fuselage?), the Buccaneer (opening tail cone) etc. > Reverse are small doors on the engine nacelle that open once the plane is landed and > try to stop before the end of the runway. On all the planes I have seen, yes. I believe some of the older ones would allow you to engage reverse thrust while in flight. With potentially disastrous circumstances...
