Airbrakes don't increase the aircraft's sink rate. So you must land at stall speed or land without flare if you want to prevent the aircraft hopping on the ground.
Spoilers make it easier to land without risks of stalling and crash.
This aircraft's outer wings also perform as spoilers by making their AoA minus.

    @karlosdarkness They don't decrease lift of the aircrafts.
    And I create this aircraft for keyboard controlling that requires aircrafts to sink even if aircrafts are flaring with full pitch up.

    Airbrake/Flaps making the planes nose sink in my opinion is the opposite of what you want.
