Jet aircrafts reversing by own its own power
My friend was chatting with some SIA pilots recently as he ask them about jet aircrafts reversing by its own power while on ground. An old sailor, he saw it done in Koh Samui, Thailand and even asked the co-pilot about it then. The SQ pilots (one who happens also to be a flight instructor) says its impossible. I am in the middle since there is such a thing call "thrusts reversal" but deliberately doing it instead of using a tow tug looks dangerous and costly for jet engines engines. Hope this forum can shed some light.
