The propeller blades are angled in the opposite direction, sort of like an airplane flying on its back. Of course, the propeller's blade twist from hub to tip is inappropriate, and the camber of the airfoil is wrong when thrust is reversing, but efficiency of the propeller is not of paramount importance during that phase of operation.

How do the propellers on a plane work?
They rotate and produce forward movement through thrust.
Do aeroplanes have reverse gears?
Sort of. Some planes can reverse the thrust of their engines. Propeller aircraft can change the pitch of their propellers so it can "bit" more air. Some can be reverses in pitch so that it is provide zero thrust.
What is reverse pitch propellers?
Reverse pitch propellers allow the propeller blades to rotates to an angle that produced thrust in the opposite direction direction of flight. This allows propeller driven aircraft to stop faster than they would with braking alone.
Can Propellers increase thrust?
Yes they can
How do propellers affect thrust?
that is a fine answer
What does the engine on an airplane do?
They propel the aircraft by propellers or jet thrust.
What is the force that moves a plane forward?
Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.
What is the purpose of the helix angle in relation to aeroplane propellers?
maximum thrust is obtained.
Does the logitech G940 have reverse thrust?
You can set the thrust idle point, which means that if you pull the levers back beyond that your get reverse thrust.
Does a ship propeller push or pull the ship?
If you are moving forward, the propellers are pushing it, if you are moving in reverse, the propellers are pulling it.
How propellers work in engineering?
The physics concepts of a propeller is that a props generate the thrust force that pulls a machine into the air. It also has aerodynamic properties that spins the propeller.?æ?æ
Does plane reverse?
Many propeller airplanes have variable pitch propellers, these can be set to a reverse pitch which allows the aircraft to back up on the ground and can also be used to help an aircraft slow down once it has landed on the runway. On a jet there is reverse thrust, which is a deflector(s) which when engaged forces the jet thrust forward past the outside of the jet engine. This also allows a jet to back up on the ground and can be used to slow down a jet once it has landed.
