Following on from my earlier "faux pas" re the number of engines on the A380 with reversers fitted,could someone give a brief explanation as to why?.....Is it down to the fact that the a/c has so much aerofoil capacity/braking capacity etc it doesn't need 4x reversers,or is it down to the design/build,of the wing whereby it cannot accomodate outer engines in reverse thrust?
