tiktok-7397053551597473057. Reverse thrust doesn’t actually reverse the direction of the jet engine’s rotation as that would be incredibly mechanically taxing and realistically infeasible.

In fact, jet turbines can't actually do that, or at least there's no reason for them to do that. No, that feeling is the result of a special component of the jet engines aptly named the thrust ...

BACK PRESSURE - OSS FLOW THROUGH VS BAFFLE. In a modern weapon system like the M4, there's a 2.3ms delay from when the round discharges to when the bolt opens.

The US Air Force (USAF) has successfully tested a new aerial refuelling technique known as reverse flow, in which a transport aircraft transfers jet fuel to a tanker. The demonstration, which took ...

The F-5E/F had one engine, a General Electric J85-GE-21, a design that is still around: A variant of the J-85 powers the U.S. Air Force’s T-38 trainer, and another version will power Boom’s ...

The pressure behind a detonation wave in the engine is enormous, but there is high pressure on the wave to move backward. That pressure could reverse the flow of the fuel and oxidizer injectors. “If ...

Reverse thrust creates a lot of noise because the jet engine suddenly switches from moving with the flow of air, to redirecting the extremely high-speed jet wash forward against the direction of ...
