Cool

Several sets of Leading edge devices (Kreugers and the L/E flaps between the engines) automatically retract on selection of Reverse Thrust on the 744 and the 747 (those that have been modded) to prevent damage from any FOD/dirt/etc thrown fwd by the pplication of reversers.

You'll also notice on the video that once the reverse is cancelled they come back out again.
