Inlet drag
Lomapaseo. I did not say that either RR or GE dispute the effects of inlet drag. What I did say was that neither mention it when explaining how thrust reversal assists in slowing the aircraft. I mention inlet drag only because it has been cited by another contributor to the thread as being the primary contributor to slowing the aircraft and that the contribution of reversal of the gas flow, or fan discharge, is relatively small. This I find difficult to accept.
