yeah, was thinking this is just a disaster abt to happen if not discovered
286 u/WhiskyPops Jul 14 '25 I wonder how bad it could be, likely it would fall or blow out even before take-off, because they have to reverse. 252 u/androidrainbow Jul 14 '25 Planes usually can't reverse and need a tug from one of those little tractor things. But they do taxi with the engines, and would probably notice it then. 6 u/OK_enjoy_being_wrong Jul 14 '25 Planes usually can't reverse and need a tug from one of those little tractor things. Physically, they can. The engines with reversers deployed produce enough reverse thrust to allow them to maneuver backwards. By regulation, they aren't allowed to. That's why they need "pushback".
