Then I c
What is the difference between flaps and speed brakes?
The question has been asked "what do the holes do for you". If I hadn't
just asked an aero engineer that I have a LOT of respect for, I'd have said
"they increase drag due to the turbulence created in their wake". But he
assures me they DON'T. So why do they have holes then? He says it's to

I think the holes reduce the required structural
strength of the speed brake
structure/assembly/actuation mechanism. Plugging the
holes without a thought to reinforcing the structure
to handle the increased air loads may not be a good
idea.
