A spoiler assembly is provided that is engageable to a UAV that defines a body, an outer surface and an inner surface. The spoiler assembly comprises a spoiler, translatably connected to the UAV inner surface adjacent a first portion of the spoiler aperture. The spoiler defines an upper surface and an outer surface, the upper surface being substantially the same size and shape as the spoiler aperture. A spoiler shroud is connected to the UAV inner surface and extends within the UAV body about at least a portion of the spoiler aperture. A spoiler activating mechanism is secured to the UAV inner surface and connected the spoiler lower surface. The mechanism is operative to translate the spoiler between a first position wherein the spoiler upper surface is substantially flush with the UAV outer surface, and second a position, wherein the spoiler upper surface is disposed substantially within the UAV body.
