efficiency of the thrust reversers?
Slightly OT, but does anyone know the efficiency of the thrust
reversers?
I mean, lets say an engine outputs 20.000 lbf
of thrust at e.g N1 80% in "normal forward" setting.
At N1 80% REVERSE, will it have a 20.000 lbf opposite thrust??
I would hardly think so since part of the blast (energy) will be directed
to the side, and not forward?
Cheers,
