the view from inside the landing gear system as the wheel touches down.

Honestly, I don’t perceive an extreme diving angle. Quite surprising technique, though.

I was not aware 17's could activate thrust reversers in the air. I would have thought they would be tied into the weight-on-wheels system.

What? That’s insane. Physics are physics, that must be very violent. The plane must’ve be constructed for this, otherwise it’ll tear the wings apart from the fuselage.

WoW, deployment of mid air thrust reverser is not something you see everyday and if I am not wrong it is banned in commercial airliners except after touching ground

How does this make sense? Just push the stick forward and bring the engines back.

The amount of stress on that airframe 😳you can see as the reverse thrusters deploy the wings shake violently

The DC-8 did not have speed brakes and used this procedure for emergency descent. It was cool to do during training.

The plane was designed to takeoff and land on extremely short runways. Making it possible to get in and out of tight locations easily. It was also the 1st to use commercial engines making an engine swap quick and easy if needed.

This is how the C-17 Globemaster III can descend from 30,000 feet to 5,000 feet in less than two minutes. This tactical descent profile allows the aircraft to remain at higher altitudes for as long as possible before making a rapid, steep descent into its destination. By doing so, the C-17 minimizes the time it spends within enemy air defense and missile engagement ranges, enhancing survivability in hostile environments. 📹: Raj 360

🚨WHOA!!! Gravity Just Got Outmatched… Watch a C-17 Drop Out of the Sky Using Reverse Thrust Most people think giant cargo aircraft descend slowly in wide lazy circles. Not the American 🇺🇸 C-17. What you’re seeing in this footage is one of the most aggressive controlled descents ever engineered into a military aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster can actually deploy thrust reversers while still in the air… something almost no other jet transport can safely do. When those massive engines flip into reverse thrust, the physics of the aircraft changes instantly. Instead of the engines pushing the aircraft forward… they begin fighting the forward motion of the airplane. The result is dramatic. The aircraft can transition from flying nearly parallel to the horizon… to a steep nose-down descent that looks almost perpendicular compared to the Earth below. Pilots can drop altitude incredibly fast… going from high cruising altitude to landing approach in just a couple minutes. Why does this matter? Because the C-17 was built for battlefield logistics. It was designed to fly into dangerous airspace, descend rapidly to avoid threats, land on short or rough runways, unload equipment or troops, and get back into the air before anyone has time to react. That rapid descent capability allows the aircraft to minimize time exposed to enemy radar or missile threats. The moment the thrust reversers are disengaged, the aircraft stabilizes instantly and transitions back into normal controlled flight for landing. It’s a perfect example of American aerospace engineering. Four massive turbofan engines… flight computers… and aerodynamics working together to make a 585,000-pound aircraft move like a precision instrument in the sky. For people who have never seen reverse thrust used mid-air before… this footage is a rare look at how military airlift aircraft operate when seconds matter. It’s one of the coolest demonstrations of aviation physics you’ll ever see. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Just found out the C-17 can dump thrust reversers IN FLIGHT for assault landings and my A350/787/A320 brain is absolutely broken 🤯 I’ve been elbow-deep in commercial birds for years and the idea of popping reversers at 10,000 ft feels like straight-up witchcraft. Military guys, is this normal for you or is the Globemaster just built different?

Why does Airbus A380 only use its two inner engines for reverse thrust during landing? This is to reduce weight and avoid foreign object debris. The outer engines hang over grass or dirt—activating reversers there could blow debris forward and back into the engines. Moreover, engines 1 and 4(outboard) on the Airbus A380 do not have thrust reversers installed. Emirates A380 during a spray wet landing at Birmingham Airport,UK. 📹: Airport Action(Youtube)

An F-35 hovering in mid-air. No runway. No wings beating. Just 40,000 lbs of jet deciding gravity is optional. This isn’t a stunt — it’s vector thrust and raw American engineering 🇺🇸✈️

#BREAKING : Japan Airlines flight drops 26,000 ft mid-air, makes emergency landing. A Tokyo-bound Japan Airlines flight JL8696 made an emergency landing at Kansai Airport after dropping nearly 26,000 feet mid-air. The Boeing 737, operated by Spring Airlines Japan, was en route from Shanghai to Tokyo with 191 people on board. Around 6:53 PM local time, the aircraft suffered a sudden cabin pressure drop, forcing a rapid descent from 36,000 ft to 10,500 ft in 10 minutes. Oxygen masks were deployed. Passengers feared the plane would crash. No injuries were reported. #JapanAirlines #Aviation #FlightJL8696 #EmergencyLanding #KansaiAirport #Shanghai #Tokyo #Kansai #SpringAirlines
