    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target-type_thrust_reversal

    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 suitable for engines of 3,000 lbf (13 kN) or greater ...

    Clamshell type thrust reversers deployed on the CFM56 engine of an Airbus A321. 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.

    Reverse thrust is also used to help slow the aircraft after landing. [9] Virtually all jet-powered aircraft have an air brake or, in the case of most airliners, flight spoilers that also generate drag, albeit with the additional lift dumping effect.

    The root cause of the accident was determined to be an inoperative number 2 engine reverse thrust system, even though cockpit instruments showed that the reverser had deployed. This was caused by the disconnection of a duct, resulting in a lack of pressure in the pneumatic clamshell door actuating mechanism.
