Själv blir det en resa från London till Tokyo i mitten av nästa år men tyvärr blir det bara Airbus a380 till Singapore och sen Boeing 747 från Singapore till Tokyo. Fast hemresan blir det Airbus hela vägen till London.
I guess your meaning is that only two out of four engine on Airbus A380 has thrust reverser because to limit the amount of debris entering the engine, right?
Danielyeoh5885, there was a reason Airbus only put reversers of two of the four engines, and it is NOT to limit the debris entering the engine. This engine is powerful, a thrust of about 80000lbs, but the GE90-115B has a thrust of 127,900lbs! The reason only 2 engines have reversers is due to the braking power the plane had already. Airbus wasn't going to even put reversers, but the FAA told them to put it on 2. Full braking power would send a person flying through the chair in front of him!
However, it is also true that the reason they don't put reversers on the outside engines is due to the proximity they are from the edge of the runway and yes it is also to protect from the ingestion of debris
Yes, you're right. Even though i did send you that message, i did forget to mention that the outboard engines are close the the edge of the runway, so they can't have reverse thrust due to ingestion of debris. But also, the stopping power is also a factor in why they only need two reversers
both engines are the same size on teh wings right? at first i thought one was smaller like on the 747.

Åkte du bara från Göteborg till Tokyo och tillbaka till Sverige? Du åkte på en flygsemester kan man kalla det eller? =)

Haha, actually more noise during the hold at the active runway than when takeoff power was set! Incredible piece of engineering!

note that the A380 only is reversing with two engines. If they reverse with the to longest out, they take in grass in the enginge :)
