How do Pilots use the Thrust Reversers and what are they actually good for?
What types of thrust reversers are there and do they actually help the aircraft to reduce its landing distance?
These are a few of the questions that I will try to answer in todays video.
I often get questions about why the aircraft is making so much noise after landing and why it looks like the engines are "splitting in two". Reversers is a fascinating subject and I hope you will learn something new from this video!
