Do commercial jets always have to use reverse thrust?
No, but they will require a much longer runway if they plan to land without thrust reversers.
When do you engage thrust reversers?
You should engage reverse thrust just after the nose landing gear touches the ground. You should disengage it when the co-pilot tells you to.
In fsx how do you reverse thrust?
press and hold the f2 key on your keyboard, to deactivate the reversers add a little throttle.
How are breaks applied in jet engines?
A jet engine has no brakes. Though they do have thrust reversers which change the direction of thrust to slow the aircraft down. Aeroplanes have brakes on the wheels.
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.
Why thrust reversers instead of aircraft braking system?
Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help it slow down just after touch-down. This reduces wear on the brakes and enables shorter landing distances.
Why Thrust reversers are efficient when used at relatively high speeds after touch down of aircraft?
When going at the speeds planes have to go to maintain altitude, brakes on the wheels can't properly slow down the plane, and even when they can, they have to take quite a bit of physical abuse. Thrust reversers, on the other hand, don't harm much of the plane, and work even as the plane bounces slightly from touch-down.
What has the author George T Carson written?

What is a cascade vane?
They are two panels behind the cowling that slide backward and reverse only the fan thrust (the fan produces the majority of the thrust). Fan air redirection is performed by devices called "blocker doors" and "cascade vanes". This is the case on many large aircraft such as the 747, C-17, KC-10, etc. If you are on an aircraft and you hear the engines increasing in power after landing, it is usually because the thrust reversers are deployed. The engines are not actually spinning in reverse, as the term may lead you to believe. The reversers are used to slow the aircraft more quickly and reduce wear on the wheel brakes.
How do you back up a plane?
Most aircraft have an engine "reverser" function, which would propel thrust backwards. However, Jet Aircraft would use this only when landing to stop the plane at a high speed. Some Turboprop airliners like the ATR may use their reversers to propel themselves backwards, because they use a different mode to obtain thrust, which is via their propellers. However in most airliners, propelled by jet engines, they would be "pushed back" by a Pushback truck, which would line them up with the taxiway.
What is the function of balance leak line in bfp?
to mitigate the axial thrust.
Do aircraft have brakes?
Yes. Aircraft have wheel brakes just like the brakes on your car. The pilot operates them by depressing the tops (or toes) of the rudder pedals. In addition, the flaps are used to slow the aircraft in flight, and many aircraft have air-brakes and/or thrust reversers to further aid in slowing the aircraft.
