The DHC-6 , Twin Otter, has reverse available in flight, but is not used, for safety reasons, we do use discing(in flight), which is what happens when the blade pitch angle is flat(fine pitch),this increases drag, which can help to on a semi high approach, with out the increasing airspeed from pushing the nose over to salvage the approach.
