Thrust reversers are small ports located on the outside of the engine, which open up into the engine's outer layer. That outer layer normally pulls in cool air, which helps to spin up the turbofan ...

Boeing 787 Dreamliner suffered a simultaneous dual engine failure after touchdown at Osaka. They were flying in from Tokyo.

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. These ...

Airbus is aiming to introduce an engine control unit software modification for CFM International CFM56 powerplants, to reduce the safety risk if A320 pilots attempt a go-around after activating ...

While reverse thrust does cause some stress on the engine and pylon, they are designed for it. Q: When the plane lands, you can hear the engines being used to decelerate.

Danish investigators have determined that an Airbus A320 crew's aborting a landing, despite activating reverse-thrust, resulted in control difficulties as the aircraft climbed away with one engine ...
