Cool

no thrust is lost as such it is just directed in a different direction.

It is done in such a way as not to damage the wings.

Most airlines will use idle thrust only and use the brakes to a greater extent.

Thrust may be limited using reverse thrust to say a setting of 60% rather than full thrust.
