Abstract
A reverse thrust braking system includes an inlet having propeller fan blades that accelerate air coming into the system. A plurality of chambers receive the air accelerated through the inlet by the propeller fan blades. An exit point receives air from at least one of the plurality of chambers and exhausts the air from the system. The exit point exhausts air at an angle to create a reverse thrust.
Claims19
A reverse thrust braking system, comprising:
- an inlet having propeller fan blades that accelerate air coming into the system;
- a plurality of chambers arranged linearly that receive air accelerated through the inlet by the propeller fan blades, wherein each of the plurality of chambers is downstream of the propeller fan blades;
- a plurality of bars, each of the plurality of bars located between any adjacent two chambers of the plurality of chambers;
- and
- an exit point that receives air from at least one of the plurality of chambers and exhausts the air from the system, the exit point exhausting air at an angle to create a reverse thrust without combustion.
