Reverse Thrust; Reversive Taxing for Airplanes?

Recommended Posts

i wonder if it would be possible if Reverse Thurst, or like reverse gear could be added to airplanes so that they could taxi out of a Hangar(for instance). so that we can place a plane in a hangar and take it out professionally for taxing and takeoff.. Or even have the plane parked forward to the Hangar's exit(which would only be possibly by reverse offcourse:p)

Most US military aircraft don't have reverse thrust and those that do rarely use it for reverse taxiing (it blows a lot of crap from the ground and damages engines). The primary use is simply to reduce landing roll out.

For ground handling, a motorized tug (thank you attachTo!) would be more realistic and avoids the odd problem with joystick and non-joystick throttle control.

hmm ya.. a tug.. thats it..thats the word i was looking for:p

well let's just say we need a action button that says "reverse" so that we can get a plane out of a hangar without having to try to blow it up on an attempt of breaking the front Hangar wall:D

I'm envisioning a tug that drags the aircraft around very slowly such that it's in taxi position. You don't need to be able to backup from the pilot seat.
