thrustreversed
Thrust reversal, or thrustreversal, is a mechanism used on many aircraft engines to redirect some of the engine’s thrust forward, creating a braking force rather than continuing to push the aircraft backward. It is most commonly employed during landing or in a rejected takeoff, where additional deceleration helps shorten stopping distances and reduce wear on wheel brakes.
Most modern civil thrust reversers are installed in the engine nacelle and act on the bypass airflow
There are two broad design families. Cascade-type reversers use blocker doors and a fixed set of deflector
Operationally, thrust reversers are activated after touchdown and are normally used on the ground during the
In summary, thrust reversal is a widely used but carefully controlled method to enhance aircraft deceleration
