  2. Thrust reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_reversal

    Thrust reversers deployed on the CFM56 engine of an Airbus A321. 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.

  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]

    The game features a variety of planes including aircraft contributed from the community. The game also features multiplayer environment for pilots to interact with each other. In Q4 2018, the GeoFS app was released for both Android and iOS devices. GeoFS on mobile features the Original, as well as a Lite app. [11] Infinite Flight: Active 2011

  5. GeoFS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoFS

    GeoFS (previously known as GEFS-online) is a free Dutch multi-platform browser-based multiplayer flight simulator based on the Cesium WebGL Virtual Globe. The game contains multiple aircraft, including several user contributed aircraft. [2] The SD resolution is based on images provided by the Sentinel-2 satellite.

  6. List of VTOL aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VTOL_aircraft

    This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability.

  7. Tailslide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailslide

    Tailslides will transiently reverse the airflow on many aircraft surfaces, giving abnormal forces compared with forward flight. The control surface linkages must be able to handle these forces without damage or deformation. Not all airplanes capable of aerobatics are also capable of tailslide maneuvers.

  9. FlightGear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlightGear

    FlightGear started as an online proposal in 1996 by David Murr, living in the United States. He was dissatisfied with proprietary, available, simulators like the Microsoft Flight Simulator, citing motivations of companies not aligning with the simulators' players ("simmers"), and proposed a new flight simulator developed by volunteers over the Internet.
