Record 3 2008-04-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The reverse thrust system provides means of decelerating aircraft during the landing roll, thus reducing landing roll length. The thrust reverser units are attached at the turbine outlet case of each engine. The clamshell door type thrust reverser provides reversal of thrust by blocking the engine exhaust gas and fan air flow and deflecting the gasses through openings made by repositioned defector doors or by fixed cascade vane openings depending on the type of reverser mechanism. Exhaust gases of the centre engine are deflected forward and out of the sides of the aft fuselage, and on strut mounted engines gases are deflected above and below the engine in a forward direction.
