Propellers Could Halt Airliners with Reversible Brakes
RAF engineers at Weight Field reveal reversible pitch propellers can act as brakes by reversing blade bite to cut landing runs by hundreds of feet. Used with takeoff rockets, they could enable giant airliners to operate at smaller airports in emergencies. A heavy airship was slowed to a stop in 900 feet using these propellers, compared with 1,800 feet with brakes and flaps alone.
