    Thrust Reverser

    Jet engine thrust reversers provide reverse thrust to help slow aircraft during landing. There are several types of thrust reversers including translating cowl, pivoting door, clamshell door, and target door designs which divert some or all of the rearward jet exhaust forward. This reverse thrust helps reduce landing roll-out distances. Other brake assist methods for some aircraft include reverse pitch propellers or drogue parachutes.
