Micro Turbojet Thrust Reverser

BACKGROUND Current micro-turbojets lack the ability to reverse thrust, making it more difficult to decelerate after landing and handle rejected takeoffs. Additionally, overall maneuverability of the aircraft is much lower without reverse thrusting capabilities, making it difficult to brake or descend. By adding thrust reversal, these micro-turbojets...
