A: Reverse thrust is most useful at higher speeds. Below 100 knots, almost all the deceleration force is from the brakes. You cannot say a specific percentage as it changes during the landing rollout.

Welcome back to the Daily Aviation for a feature on the powerful engines and thrust reverser of the C-5M Super Galaxy that enables the mammoth aircraft to be reversed on the flightline. Footage ...

Some thrust reversers also open directly into the combustion chamber of the engine, rather than the cold layer. It's the same effect, just with hot air instead of cool air.

The company will provide thrust reverser relay control boxes to Boeing for DC-10, MD-10, KC-10 and KDC-10 aircraft. The FAA-mandated boxes, which provide wing engine thrust reverse lock-out, are ...

A: In modern jets, most of the airflow (usually around 75%) through the engine is via the outer duct known as the fan duct. When the pilot selects reverse, blocking doors extend into the fan duct ...
