Question: 1 / 400

The rearward thrust capability of an engine with the thrust reverser system deployed is

less than its forward capability.

When the thrust reversers are deployed, the airflow is redirected in the opposite direction, creating a rearward thrust. Because this thrust is generated by redirecting the existing forward thrust, it will always be less than the forward capability of the engine. This is why option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it implies that the rearward thrust is greater than the forward thrust, which is not the case. Option C is also incorrect because it states that the rearward thrust is equal to the forward thrust, which is also not true. Option D is incorrect because while it is true that the thrust reverser capability can vary depending on the type of engine, the question is specifically asking about the rearward thrust capability in relation to the forward capability.
