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.

Can a plane reverse?
Certain airplanes such as the Harrier, can float still, spin and reverse in mid air. This is due to vector thrust engines that have rotating exhausts and louvers that can be pointed downward
Ride a plane or ride in a plane?
ride in a plane. you would fly a plane
What inclined plane is the length of the inclined plane plane divide by its height?
The slope of an inclined plane is found by dividing the rise of the plane by the run of the plane. also the ideal mechanical advantage.
Does a square have a plane of symmetry?
No. A square is a plane figure and conventionally for plane figures symmetry is considered in terms of rotation about a point or an axis (in the plane of the figure) but not a plane outside the plane of the square.
Why is the coordinate plane called the Cartesian plane?
The coordinate plane is sometimes call the Cartesian plane because Rene Descartes is often credited with inventing the coordinate plane and so the coordinate plane is sometimes called the Cartesian plane,in his honor.

What forces help stop airplanes?
The natural force of drag assists in slowing down the plane. However, once a plane lands, it uses spoilers, brakes, and reverse thrust to stop.
When the rock above a fault plane moves up ward relative to the rock below a fault has occurred?
reverse fault
How does reverse work on a waverunner?
The reverse on a waverunner works very similarly to the reverse on a jet plane. A mechanism called a "reverse gate" drops down over the jet on the back of the Waverunner. The reverse gate changes the direction of the thrust so that it goes forward instead of backward. With the thrust going forward, the Waverunner goes backward for the same reason it goes forward with the thurst going backward. Note that switching into reverse at speed or using the reverse at high speed or using the reverse as a brake can rip the pump out of the back of the Waverunner. The reverse is only intended for low-speed maneuvering.
What buttons are to reverse the plane on pilot academy on psp?
it isn't possible to reverse. The only thing gamers are able to do is move forward. If you want to turn sharper, I suggest turning at a low speed (around 7-10knots)hope this helped
How will the word PHISICS appear in the plane mirror?
Phisics is not a word, but the letters P H I S I C S would appear backwards and in reverse order in a plane mirror.
What is an listric fault?
A listric fault is a fault along which a plane is curved. It is caused by a normal separation and in some cases the reverse separation. The curve is concave at the top but it is curved downward in a flattening manner.
What is reverse thrust in a 777 landing?
When airplanes fly, the exhaust gasses from jet engines go behind the engine and push the airplane forward. When the airplanes land on the runway, the directions of the exhaust gas from the engine is changed so it pushes forward. Instead of making the plane go forward, it starts trying to make the plane go into reverse. As a result, it slows down the airplane. That slows down the airplane much faster than just using the brakes would.
Does the airplane use the reverse gear to park?
Airplanes don't have gears.... When an airplane parks it uses a combination of engine thrusts, brakes and signals from the ground crew to pull up just right. When a plane is ready to leave a truck, called pushback tug, pushes the plane backwards so it can turn and leave.
How do you stop the 747 aircraft after landing?
All aircraft are fitted with brakes (much like a car) -however - with large aircraft, the pilot can set the engines to 'reverse thrust' which brings the plane to a stop quickly.
What is plane in algebra?
A plane is the coordinate plane.
Ride a plane or ride in a plane?
ride in a plane. you would fly a plane
