Thrust reverser

Japanese: 逆推力装置 - ぎゃくすいりょくそうち(英語表記)thrust reverser
Thrust reverser
A device installed at the tail of a jet engine that generates thrust in the opposite direction to help aircraft brake when landing. It is also called a thrust reverser. Jet engines usually generate thrust by ejecting combustion gases backward from a nozzle at the rear. A thrust reverser blocks this jet at the rear end of the nozzle and ejects it sideways or forward to generate thrust in the opposite direction. The magnitude of this reverse thrust is usually 30-50% of the normal forward thrust.
