Why is thrust reverse more effective at higher speed, other than below the idle thrust reverse speed restriction, if any. More reverse thrust force available at 120 knots than 100 knots?
Braking slows your aircraft down better at low speeds than high? OK, I presume that you've less lift at lower speeds, thus a greater normal force, and thus greater braking force. Are there other reasons?
