Video of a target-type thrust reverser in operation. Target-type thrust reversal (also called bucket thrust reversal or clamshell thrust reversal [1]) is a deceleration method when an aircraft lands. Like other types of thrust reversals, it temporarily diverts the engine exhaust forward to provide deceleration. This type of thrust-reverser is ...
The ideal position for a static port is a position where the local air pressure in flight is always equal to the pressure remote from the aircraft, however there is no position on an aircraft where this ideal situation exists for all angles of attack. When deciding on a position for a static port, aircraft designers attempt to find a position ...
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...
a control computer to calculate the required control actions to maintain position and correct for position errors. thrust elements to apply forces to the ship as demanded by the control system. For most applications, the position reference systems and thrust elements must be carefully considered when designing a DP ship.
A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle.
Thrust levers in a Boeing 747 Classic. The center and rear levers are used during flight, while the forward levers control reverse thrust.. Thrust levers or throttle levers are found in the cockpit of aircraft, and are used by the pilot, copilot, flight engineer, or autopilot to control the thrust output of the aircraft's engines, by controlling the fuel flow to those engines.

This thrust imbalance causes several negative effects in addition to the loss of one engine's thrust. The tail-design engineer is responsible for determining the size of vertical stabilizer that will comply with the regulatory requirements for the control, and performance of an aircraft after engine failure, such as those set by the Federal ...
A podded engine is a jet engine that has been built up and integrated in its nacelle. This may be done in a podding facility as part of an aircraft assembly process. [ 1 ] The nacelle contains the engine, engine mounts and parts which are required to run the engine in the aircraft, known as the EBU (Engine Build Up).
