Guppy,
this bores me. I am participating to discuss the mechanics of reverse thrust, not to belabor discussion styles. This happens so often on PPRuNe, which is why I don't participate that often.
So, one last time:
I have asked you what you meant (that is, to define the term "inlet drag", which you said is responsible for most of the braking effect of thrust reverse).
You still won't say.
I now know where you are coming from.
HN39,
[PBL: flow of what mass of air?]
What do you think?
Another discussion game. Pass.
Could we maybe get back to discussing the mechanics of reverse thrust and the pertinent concepts?
