GL-1 is an Indonesian glider which is currently being developed using EASA CS-22 as its basis requirements. Spoiler is an important control mechanism in glider as it is used to control the glide slope of a glider. The design of spoiler includes configuration and dimension such as span, height, and position in wing. One of the requirements for spoiler design in EASA CS-22 is approach and dive performance. Compliance to the performance requirements needs aerodynamics analysis to find lift loss and drag gain due to spoiler extension. Several variable of spoiler dimension, such as the length, the height, and the gap, is varied to obtain a spoiler design which comply to the requirements. To simplify design and aerodynamic analysis process, a method of obtaining 3D aerodynamic characteristics from 2D airfoil with spoiler simulation is developed. 3D CFD simulations is used as a validation and to develop correcting factors. The spoiler dimension which complies to requirements are: 1.4-meter span, 90mm height, and location at 24 to 43% wing span.
