    Reverse thrust is always fun to watch. I used to love seeing the Q-300s do it at my local airport, where I worked.

    Awesome sound from those engines starting up! Cool to see how they "push back" too ;) Incredible footage, huge like from me!

      Thanks a lot, it was pretty impressive seeing the pilots maneuvering the seaplanes around the docks.

      I like engine's sound too. Especially, when pilots do test their plane. For example, at 02:46 on this video: ruclips.net/video/05VFXQo-U00/видео.html

    • @largol33t1
      @largol33t1 8 лет назад

      ***** There are two ways. It depends on how old the plane is. The pilot simply pushes a lever to open a funnel that diverts air forwards. I've also seen some that have sophisticated corkscrew-type bolts so each blade can twist. This makes it push the air the other way. I don't think the latter method sounds as reliable as this means a lot more moving parts and more stuff to maintain!

    • @DanyOnTheRoad
      @DanyOnTheRoad 8 лет назад

      That's two different things you're talking about here. The lever-funnel thing you're mentioning is called a thrust reverse and you'll see that on turbojets and turbofans. Props always change (reverse) pitch, which might sound complicated but has been around since 1919.
