  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]

  4. 1955 MacArthur Airport United Air Lines crash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_MacArthur_Airport...

    Investigators found that if the throttle lever was pulled back too far, it would cause the propeller to reverse—a feature designed to slow the aircraft upon landing. Once the landing gear was raised, the crew would have to raise a metal flag in the cockpit to bring the propeller blades back into the correct position, since a safety device ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_Dash_7

    When reverse thrust is selected on landing, the props reverse pitch, push air forward, and slow the aircraft very effectively along with the antiskid main wheel brakes. More importantly, if an engine fails, the asymmetric thrust is much less than on a twin-engine layout, thereby increasing safety and allowing for a lower minimum control speed ...

  6. United Air Lines Flight 859 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Air_Lines_Flight_859

    The plane immediately began to veer to the right as a result of the asymmetrical thrust. All tires blew out on the right main landing gear, after which the plane left the runway and hit a taxiway still under construction. The nose gear collapsed, and the airplane then slammed into several airport vehicles, including construction equipment. This ...

  7. Lockheed L-1011 TriStar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_L-1011_TriStar

    During development the RB211 engines on the L-1011 had thrust-spoilers – target-type hot-stream reverse buckets – alongside the cold-bypass reversers. Despite capturing 25% of the total engine thrust, aerodynamic interference with the flaps diminished the braking effect of the flaps, so the thrust-spoilers were removed; instead an 11-degree ...

  8. Powerback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerback

    Powerback is used by aircraft to move backwards on the ground using the power of their engines in reverse thrust operation. [1] Civil and general aviation aircraft equipped with reverse thrust are technically or theoretically able to use powerbacks as a means of "backing up" but such operation is prohibited or strongly discouraged by aircraft manufacturers as well as airport safety regulations ...

    The monobloc nozzle assembly is installed behind two Olympus 593s. The nozzles are shown in different operating positions to illustrate take-off (right) and landing reverse thrust (left). They are partially closed for take-off to reduce sideline noise. [25] They are fully closed to deflect the exhaust partially forward to produce reverse thrust.
