Typically the spoilers
will only deploy above some yoke position threshold (maybe actually a roll
rate?), and then they can, of course, only deploy "up", so only one is
involved at a time.
Unfortunately this is not the case with Boeing jet transport aircraft(707,727,737,747
767) were the spoilers and the speed brakes are the one set of panels.In this case if the
speed brakes are extended and aileron input is instigated the speedbrake/spoiler panels on the
down going wing will extend while the panels on the up going wing will retract and depending
on how far the speedbrakes are extended as to how far they retract or extend.As I remember
I think it is 10 deg.That is the panels on down going wing will extend 10 deg,providing they are
not already fully up, and the panels on the up going wing will retract 10 deg once again providing
they are not already down.
