An aircraft engine nacelle spoiler assembly including a number of spoilers and actuators. Each spoiler has a drag surface and a nacelle connection point. The spoilers are shiftable via the actuators between a stowed position and a deployed position such that the drag surfaces are substantially parallel with the direction of relative wind when the spoilers are stowed and exposed to the relative wind when the spoilers are deployed.
