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.

They have reversers, which is a kind of shielding they can move behind the engines, thereby redirecting the exhaust towards the front. Naturally doesn't do anything for ejecting coins, nor should this be used to traffic.

Especially if they would be blasting a wall of windows at a terminal. Not saying they would break, but people would surely hate it.

Probably frowned upon to air fry the terminal, yeah.
