Target-type thrust reversal (also called bucket thrust reversal or clamshell thrust reversal [1]) is a deceleration method when an aircraft lands. Like other types of thrust reversals, it temporarily diverts the engine exhaust forward to provide deceleration. This type of thrust-reverser is suitable for engines of 3,000 lbf (13 kN) or greater ...
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...
A Beechjet 400A (a small business jet) with its left-hand Pratt and Whitney JT15D engine running at idle; and the engine's Nordam target-type or bucket thrust reverser being deployed three times after maintenance. Video shot by YSSYguy on 27 April 20...
The D-30KU engine was the first aviation engine in the USSR to include a bucket-type thrust reverser. The Il-62M aircraft equipped with D-30KU had a range extended by 1500 km, compared with the basic model equipped with NK-8-4 engines.
The engine featured a single-stage fan, a three-stage low-pressure compressor, and an eleven-stage high-pressure compressor coupled to a two-stage high-pressure turbine and four-stage low-pressure turbine. The JT9D-3, the earliest certified version of the engine, weighed 8,470 lb (3,840 kg) and produced 43,500 lbf (193 kN) thrust. [7]
The efflux from the turbojet expanded through the (inner) turbine annulus, thus providing power directly to the fan blades located in the outer annulus. A full-length cowl, an annular exhaust system and a bucket thrust-reverser were fitted for the Convair 990. [17] The unique feature of the CJ805-23 was the transonic single stage fan. [18]
The -5 model was certified in 1982, and a decade later, an engine utilizing the TFE731-5 power section and a TFE731-3 fan was built and designated the TFE731-4, intended to power the Cessna Citation VII aircraft. [4] The most recent version is the TFE731-50, based on the -60 used on the Falcon 900DX, which underwent its flight test program in ...
The engine was first tested on the Pratt & Whitney Boeing 747SP on July 11, 2008 through mid-August 2008, totaling 12 flights and 43.5 flight hours. [14] It then flew starting October 14, 2008 on an Airbus A340-600 in Toulouse on the number two pylon. [15] Testing of the CSeries bound PW1524G model began in October 2010. [16]
