not just that, dc9's md80's and 90's too. and there are also some private jets that uses clam shell. anyway I saw something mysterious here 00:37 and it's really freaking me out right now.
most Soviet planes have the clam shell reversers! IL-76 all models axcept VD90 maybe some other and Tu-154M IL-62M and some other and their all medium - long range airliners!
hmmm i've never ever heard of target type thrust reversers. Only mechanical blockage and aerodynamic blockage. Mechanical is something like the clamshell type, like pictured on this jt8d. Someones BS meter just pegged out -_-
@CivSi02 Misdirection and speed. You state that a "clamshell" thrust reverser unit is a subtype of the mechanical type, yet you then assert that a target-type reverser cannot exist because there are only two types of mechanism, mechanical and aerodynamic. Therein lies a massive logical fallacy.
Wouldn't the target-type mechanism be a subset of the mechanical type? And have you considered that not knowing about it doesn't preclude its existence? FYI, the term is acknowledged and used by NASA.
@ErickC Also, it should be mentioned that I was also wrong. The clamshell reverser type is a subset of the target-type mechanisms (as defined by NASA), and any system whereby two blocker doors come together is defined as being of this general type. So both terms are technically correct.
That's a target-type reverser, not a clamshell or bucket type. Clamshell types do not transpose, they are made of, as their name suggests, clamshell shaped sphere sections which simply rotate. The original JT8D nacelles inherited from the 727 used clamshell types. They were good for two things: making noise, and lifting the aircraft off the runway! The new target reversers were provided free of charge by Boeing and Rohr and were many, many times more effective.
@ErickC You are absolutely correct and so many people get this wrong..I remember as a kid in the '60s standing up on the observation deck at JAX and ATL and looking down on those old 727's(The old 100's) from Eastern, Piedmont,etc and they would pop the reversers for a powered backup from the gate and wow they were so loud! The building under my feet would shake and my dad would always yell at me to cover my ears :) The DC9/737's were also loud with the target type...miss those days so much!
C-141 had clamshells

if you seen my vid of flying to palawan.. na kuaan ko yung pag airbrake ng 737.. dun makikita mo yung clamshell in action
