There are four semi-circular plates on each wing that rotate up perpendicularly from the top of each wing into the airstream, just outboard of each boom. These are called spoilers. They are mechanically connected to work in concert with, and in proportion to, the ailerons. Their purpose is to kill the aerodynamic lift on the section of the wing they come up on. This causes that wing to drop. The spoilers only come up on the wing that the aileron is also going up on. The end result is a much faster roll rate than is possible with ailerons alone.

I was a Marine Corps ordnance tech on these birds as well as cobras. I see where the gun pod housings have been removed from this aircraft
My favourite combination of video and music
One awesome aircraft
Such a cool aircraft. Love it.
This or a Victor for my dream flight...close call.
What are that 4 surfaces over the wing that appear when turning sharp? Special design? What's the use of them?
