Aviator_Raza on Instagram: "In modern turbofan engines, most of the thrust (≈ 70–90%) comes from the cold bypass air, not the hot exhaust. During landing, thrust reverser systems deploy cascade vanes and translating sleeves in the fan duct. This redirects the cold stream outward and forward, creating a force opposite to the aircraft’s motion. Since the cold stream provides the majority of thrust, reversing it alone is sufficient for effective deceleration. The hot stream is left untouched to avo

Similar to other thrust reversal types, it temporarily redirects the engine exhaust forward to slow down the aircraft.
