"P&W Thrust Reverser Operational Test" Shots from the operational test of the engine thrust reversers. This is a cascade type of the thrust reverser. This type is most typically installed on high bypass ratio turbofan engines. A cascade reverser incorporates radially arranged openings near the aft edge of the fan cowl of a turbofan engine. Within each of the openings is mounted a cascade set of air flow turning vanes. A blocking door and its associated actuating system are positioned flush with

When reverse thrust is used to push an aircraft back from the gate, the maneuver is called a powerback. Common pre 2000 but now rare for a variety of safety reasons.

Similar to other thrust reversal types, it temporarily redirects the engine exhaust forward to slow down the aircraft.
