Does this mean that the A380 engines 2 and 3 will succumb to more wear and tear as the reverse thrust is only available for those two engines?Sorry to veer off a lil with regards to the a/c type.
The additional machinery for reverse on those engines will certainly take a lot of maintenance and be prone to breakdown. I believe Airbus were all for leaving reverse out altogether, but it was customer demand that led to reverse being installed in 2 engines only.
