Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems.
Contrary to popular belief, aircraft engine nacelles are part of the airframe, not the engine itself. Engine nacelles consist of cowlings, thrust reverser systems, anti-ice systems, exhaust ...
The C-20G (Gulfstream III) is an all-weather, long-range, high speed aircraft powered by two Rolls-Royce Spey MK511-8 turbofan engines with thrust reversers. The aircraft has an executive ...
Inspection of the aircraft found the left engine to have sustained damage to the inner structure of its thrust-reverser. The centre states that the reverser was “missing” a casing section ...
A pulse jet engine operates by generating thrust through a series of rapid combustion pulses. The process begins when air and fuel are drawn into the combustion chamber. In a valved pulse jet ...
