"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

REVERSE THRUST from another angle, The Boeing Company 777. Most of your have seen the thrust reverser in action through the window or from outside, but this is what you don't get to see very often. Shown here is the cascade sleeve type thrust reverser on the #B777. You can see the blocker doors move in order to direct the fan airflow through the cascades (the openings in the cowling that you see when landing) and assist the aircraft in slowing down.
