A jet plane has "thrust reversers" which effectively fold the jet engine's thrust around to the front, and these are used at landing to slow the plane down quickly. They are not used, as far as I know, to push the plane backwards from a standing stop; I suspect they are not efficient enough to do that. Jet planes are usually "pushed back" from the gate by specially designed trucks.
Propeller planes similarly have a mechanism for turning the propeller blades backward, to slow them down on landing; so I believe they can generally roll themselves backwards on the ground if required.
Neither type of plane can fly backwards; the aerodynamics would be all wrong.
What else can I help you with?
Do planes go in reverse?
yes no and maybe
Can planes go reverse?
Planes can in go in reverse on the ground with the use of thrust reverser's. Clam shell doors on the back of a jet engine that reverses the thrust and will actually back up the aircraft. All modern airliners have this capability.
Fedex airline have passenger planes or not?
No Fedex does not have passenger planes. Although their cargo planes do have a few passenger seats, these are used only for transporting Fedex employees and/or flight crews.
Are the planes with six engines passenger planes?
Usaly
Who buys air planes from Canada?
It depends if you mean private planes or commercial or passenger planes. For passenger planes I think Air Canada would probably buy planes though I am not sure and I am sure there would be others.
How are planes useful?
planes are used for cargo shipping, passenger shipping, or just sight seeing.
Can horses go on passenger planes?
Yes, they can go on passenger planes. There are special passengers that can carry both passengers and cargo at the same. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines operates the 747-400 combi, an aircraft that is capable of carrying both cargo and passengers at the same time. The horses will be carried inside the cargo hold and will be pressurised similar to the passenger compartments. Normally a chartered specialised cargo plane would do its job, but due to the special attention needed for the horses, it will be done via the Combi aircraft.
What type of material do they use now to make airplanes?
Aluminium for passenger planes and titanium for fighter planes
Were there passenger planes in the 1950s?
yes i was flying inthe rodeo
What is the name of the place where passengers sit on planes?
passenger's seat
How fast can airpanes go?
Some rocket planes can go as fast as six times the speed of sound. Most military fighter planes do not go faster than twice the speed of sound, and the typical civilian passenger/transport plane goes slower than the sound barrier.
What type of aircraft was use in the attack on the towers?
The planes used to attack on 9/11 were large passenger planes.
