How Thrust Reverser System Works On The Aircraft?
Video Credit: Out Of Your Mind The importance of thrust reversers greatly increases in the presence of ice or snow, when braking is more difficult. They provide added safety in emergency situations, enhancing not only braking ability, but also directional control. A thrust reverser, which allows for more rapid deceleration during landing, is a critical component of many jet aircraft. By acting against the aircraft’s forward travel, a thrust reverser system helps the jet slow down just after touchdown. This reduces wear on brakes and facilitates shortened landing distances. Thrust reversers are considered essential to an airplane’s safety and performance. A thrust reverser is contained within the nacelle system, an aerodynamic structure surrounding the jet engine. A nacelle system constitutes the aircraft’s propulsion system and also includes the engine cowling, inlet cowl, fan cowl, core cowl and exhaust system. While there are a number of types, many thrust reversers have clamshell do...
