@@tee2359 im a loadmaster and i can assure you we only reverse the jet with either the troop doors open, or the cargo ramp. This was for demonstration purposes.
Might I add that thrust reversers on the C-17 are special in a one-of-a-kind way. It is fully reversible (including exhaust from the core versus typical bypass air reverse) and can be deployed in-flight for tactical (rapid) descents. Simply a fantastic piece of engineering.
12 Seconds from touch down to a complete stop, then into an immediate reverse taxi! I’m proud to say, I build this awesome beast of an aircraft, with my fellow UAW Local 148 union brothers and sister here in Long Beach, CA
Pardon my French, but that is one fuc*ing awesome plane with pilots who have some seriously mad skills. Hats off to all involved in building, flying and maintaining that big bird!!
Replying to an old comment, but almost all modern commercial planes do have reverse thrust, you ever fly on an MD-80. You'd sure know they have reverse thrust, you can feel it in your teeth.
I am an old Army guy, but this gave me goosebumps when I watched it. Holy smoke!! Props to my USAF brothers for that amazing demonstration of skill. Hoooraaah!!
Actually, many if not most jet aircraft can do that, it's called powerback. The reason why they don't is that the engine is more likely to suck in debris (FOD) swirled up by the reversers. Due to that you usually cut out the reversers around 60 knots.
Yep, whereas most aircraft only reverse the bypass air (the air that doesn't go through the core of the engine, this reverses all of the air so yep, its pretty powerful
man that this is amazing!! and planes do have a reverse gear ;) i cant believe that my buddy is going to be a load master for that bird (lucky bastard)
Just saw one of these. I cannot express how loud this is, except by comparing it to my next loudest experience, which is a shotgun blast, but constant, and makes your stomach turn over
It would have been so hilarious if when the plane was backing up, the pilot would have stuck his arm and head out the window and looked back like he was reversing a pick up truck or something lol.
@Zelda079 The engines do not stop and rotate in the opposite direction. The cowling around the engine is moved in such a way that the thrust is diverted forward---pushing the plane back.
Quien dijo que los aviones no tienen reversa? Esta es otra de mis grandes paciones los aviones Who said the planes do not have reverse? This is another of my great hobbies, planes
@chuntophilus And here's a nice little quote for you, as you seem to know nothing about history: "Nearly all scholars now believe that widespread epidemic disease, to which the natives had no prior exposure or resistance, was the overwhelming cause of the massive population decline of the Native Americans.[23] They reject both of the earliest European immigrants' explanations for the population decline of the American natives. " Choke on it.
@furfeyl that would be funny if it could. I was a crew chief in the Air Force for 8 yrs and I also wondered the same thing when i first seen it. But luckily the system will not activate unless 2 conditions exist. 1. The jet has to have its landing gears down & locked. 2. The plane has to be on the ground. There is a switch in the wheel well that senses if these 2 conditions exist or not. If not it will not work. That way the dumb ass pilots won't jack up and crash our million plus dollar jet.
@furfeyl accidents? highly unlikely becoz of the design. im not sure bout other planes but boeing thrust reversers can only be operate when the thrust lever is at idle. this is lock mechanically. and also cannot be operated on air due to the air/ground sensors. im unaware of the rocket engines. but i have seen a youtube video where they use rockets on C-130 to accelerate the a/c. unless the rocket is fix to a position where is against the forward movement of the aircraft then mayb it can =D
@abstelle 1st: It's not made to be pretty, and doesn't need to be pretty. 2nd: Still more than enough, why do you need more? 3rd: No, but the same thing that lets them go backwords lets them land in 3,500 feet, which IS important. 4th: Effective range is for combat aircraft, the C-17 is a cargo aircraft. If you mean how far can if fly without refueling then it's around 2600 mi (nautical). For What Purpose? How about safely lifting troops out of a hostile place?
@17thknight No - I just live here - am not a UAE national, or an Arab for that matter, I come from the Western world just like. So you aren't really insulting me, but you are full of hate, and that's just sad. It just goes to show that not once did you think you might not be communicating with the intended focus of your anger.
@ongesinaiya I understand the idea of reversing thrust, just how is it done? Normally you see "buckets" or "clamshells" covering the exhaust to redirect thrust. I dont see that here. The compressor blades are turning the same direction, so where does the reversing come from?
@sixstringfretter normally jet thrust force the plane forward, but the thrust reverser is reversing the flow of the jet .. just imagine your blowing air from your mouth while your moving forward... small amount is nothing but in massive size.... you make yourself stop
@rolmain88 have any accidents happened with this system yet? I remember when they tried using actual rocket engines to try and slow down the plane so it could use a shorter runway in a rescue operation to get the hostages in Iran out but one of the last test flights blew up
@viruslived All is good between timjimrichy and me. we had a chance to talk and it was all a big misunderstanding. in fact I'm goin to remove my comments to him. BTW on June 17th 2010, I celebrated 25 years with Boeing/McDonnell Douglas!
Ever heard of auto braking it start when "weight is on wheel". Thrust reversers only make that the "brake load" is less. Also the landing lenght is always calculated without any reverse thrusters. Btw i'm studying aeronautical engineering.
its simple !! those things that slide back !! make a sort of closed funel that prevents the gases to scape through the back of the engine!! there fore the gases are spelled the other direction so the gases are spelled to the front !! making reverse trust !!
@McQuackor actually yes they C-17 is capable of parallel parking also. and before anybody tries to say some bullshit, i was a crew member on them for 4 years prior to me transfering to the army to become a warrent officer.
@feluke Clamshell reverse thrust was used in low-bypass turbofans. Modern engines with 5:1 bypass ratios or greater have more 'elegant' systems (thanks for pointing this out). Thrust from the core engine cannot be reversed by this method but this is irrelevant at ground speeds.
@Juppie902 Well a lot of engines with variable pitch can throw themselves backwards too such as King Airs and Starships (yes, I have seen a Beechcraft Starship reverse into a parking spot).
Talk about reverse thrust... It was interesting because I was at a small general aviation airport last week where there was this jet that insisted on using reverse to make turns. What an odd sight!
@crossey83 Did you know the a380 was initially designed to stop just on braking power? without any reverse thrusters but FAA didn't approve and had to have 2 engines out of its 4 with R thrusters
a7xfreak114: jet engine works in only one way, air comes in from front and leaves from back. By deploying the panel, it change the direction of flow from back to front, that's all.
With reverse thrust they can stop more shorter. Maybe in future they can built backwards plane to fly He he...Like a commuter fly (commuter train exist allready) ; ]

one of these flew over my school one morning while my njrotc class was doing drill and i looked up and it sounded like a prius they are incredibly quiet when in the air.

@Ismalith what a nonsense! thrust reversers make only 10% of break process. the rest is done by the powerful wheel brakes. normally airplanes dont need thrust reversers
Compare 0:25 to 1:04 As you can see, there is a large differance to the appearance of the engine exhaust. I don't know exactly how this aircraft's engine work though.
Dont be so fanatic, your'e in good company among's apes. I tought youtube exist for fun and amusement - not serious alltime. Sorry I'm in wrong corner again...
Tower: 17 turn left onto alpha Cpt: Roger that.... lands Cpt: Oh sorry missed it! Tower: That's okay proceed to bravo Cpt: That's okay we'll back up to alpha.
@Tjita1 I thought they don't reverse the engine... Don't they keep the engines going and just pull out 'flaps' to redirect the air in the opposite direction?
@HB3ZZY The engines do not really reverse. Instead, the thrust from a normally-operating engine is diverted forward by the mechanisms external to the engine pod
Very inmpressive demonstration. That kind of capability is essential in a combat zone if they're trying to get supplies or troops someplace in a hurry.
@skyferret1 The last pilot I talked to said he has seen 18,000 fpm. You drop the landing gear, full flaps and pull the thrust reversers while flying.!?!
Im a C17 Loadmaster, i was confused why they continued to reverse without the troop doors open or the cargo door and ramp. Because we litterally have no indication of whats behind us with the jet closed up
@rudly it requires a lot less because of its lighter body and while both are are not designated STOL aircraft, they do not require a huge amount of runway

It seems like it was engineered at Boeing, a very long time ago. It’d be interesting to have them on Boeing passenger planes too.
That is utterly amazing. This thing has some *serious* power.
Amazing aircraft :)

amazing!
can they parallel park it too?

This guy is a showoff with the thrust reverse.
LOL!!!!
From touch down to backwards in 13 seconds. Pretty damn impressive!
@ljones4617 Our system was designed to work in mid-air too. We use it for rapid descents.
- C-17 loadmaster-
Pretty impressive indeed. The thrust reversers are well engineered!
I've seen this at airshows and it's amazing everytime.
The C-17 is one of the only plans that can Thurst Reverse constantly...The plane is just amazing in what it can do...turning...manuverability etc.
0:22 Is it just my impression or is this plane absolutely hauling it down the runway. That's jet fighter speed lookin' there.
We usually take off at a pretty slow speed , this plane generates a crap ton of lift

Awesome thrust reverse. I can see unlike the civil version which reverses only the fan, the military version of the PW2040 also reverses the core,
I had to take my headphones off at 1:17!!!
That's what the President should be flying in
Far from big enough for his ego.
@@stars227 Not even near.
@Zelda079 OMG they do NOT reverse the engine turning diretion. They just open the reverse rings.
Actually, many if not most jet aircraft can do that, it's called powerback. The reason why they don't is that the engine is more likely to suck in debris (FOD) swirled up by the reversers. Due to that you usually cut out the reversers around 60 knots.
I counted 10 seconds from when the reverse thrust started till the plane stopped.
Thats INSANE!! I'm IMPRESSED :o
Lukla : "ok , We can operate A globemaster here , we just need Wider area
Yep, whereas most aircraft only reverse the bypass air (the air that doesn't go through the core of the engine, this reverses all of the air so yep, its pretty powerful
I used to live in Long Beach about a mile from the C-17 produciton facility and LGB. They would fly overhead every once in a while. Badass plane.
took a tour of this in my Aviation Technology class today at Elemendorf AFB here in Alaska... awesome aircraft... nuff said
man that this is amazing!! and planes do have a reverse gear ;) i cant believe that my buddy is going to be a load master for that bird (lucky bastard)
Unlike the PW2040 on the 757s, these engines have primary reversers on top on fan reversers for even better braking presumably. Cool!
I've flown in one of these. Raw power that plants you in the seat on takeoff. Much better ride than a C130.
Dude thats freakin badass! 🇺🇸
The reverse thruster is so strong maybe they should try backward takeoff.
@@stars227 woooosh
OH my god. The reverse thrust is so powerful, to make such a huge airplane to go back at such a speed.

The C-17 is now operated by Canada, Australia, Qatar, UAE, UK and soon the NATO joint airlift wing based in Hungary.
@rolmain88 We can activate our reversers in flight. Its used to descend rapidly. We have an awesome descent rate.

For those unaware, next time you can, ask a pilot how fast they can descend. If you don't know, the answer can blow your mind.
Unbelievable... full stop in about 11 sec - maybe 1000 ft? And probably the most advanced military transport on the planet.
Stands to reason they probably have a few backup cams on this puppy.

how does it go full reverse at the end? is there like a cable on the runway? ya im a noob when it comes to landings
