  2. Thrust reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_reversal

    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 ...

  3. Target-type thrust reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target-type_thrust_reversal

    The reverse-thrust ratio (ratio of backward engine thrust to forward reverse thrust) can be as high as 84%. [6] However, this result is obtained with a cowl to attach air flow in a 7° angle and a large enough "target" (deflector door) installed. A reverse-thrust ratio of 55% can be reached on a simple target without the cowl. [7]

    [12] [7] A spinoff game called War Thunder Mobile (also known as War Thunder Edge [13]) was released in 2023 for Android and iOS. Developed as a " flying simulation game ", it was previously named War Thunder: World of Planes , [ 14 ] but due to its similarity with Wargaming 's World of Warplanes , it was changed to its present name in 2012.

  5. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_fighter_maneuvers

    The development of BFM began with the first fighter aircraft, during World War I, then continued with each following war, adapting to the changing weapons and technologies. Basic fighter maneuvers consist of many varying tactical turns, rolls, and other actions to get behind or above an enemy, before the opponent can do the same.

    Counter-rotating propellers World War I Linke-Hofmann R.I German heavy bomber (1917) with counter-rotating propellers He 177A Greif with counter-rotating propellers. Counter-rotating propellers (CRP) are propellers which turn in opposite directions to each other. [1] They are used on some twin- and multi-engine propeller-driven aircraft.

  7. Push-pull configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-pull_configuration

    Pilots in the United States who obtain a multi-engine rating in an aircraft with this push-pull, or "centerline thrust," configuration are restricted to flying centerline-thrust aircraft; pilots who obtain a multi-engine rating in conventional twin-engine aircraft do not have a similar limitation with regard to centerline-thrust aircraft. The ...

  8. Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_XF-84H_Thunderscreech

    The Republic XF-84H "Thunderscreech" is an American experimental turboprop aircraft derived from the F-84F Thunderstreak.Powered by a turbine engine that was mated to a supersonic propeller, the XF-84H had the potential of setting the unofficial air speed record for propeller-driven aircraft, but was unable to overcome aerodynamic deficiencies and engine reliability problems, resulting in the ...

  9. List of game engine recreations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engine...

    In most cases a clone is made in part by studying and reverse engineering the original executable, but occasionally, as was the case with some of the engines in ScummVM, the original developers have helped the projects by supplying the original source code—those are so-called source ports.
