Thrust reverser.

[BadLeo]

Yeah, I'm humbling requesting a simple jet engine with thrust reverser, to make easy on landings. And because it's cool. It's not particularly useful because in KSP jet engines don't produce thrust when in idle position, but, oh well, any bit of help to break a plane is always welcome. =) Thanks in advance.

There’s been a request to have them added to http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/129947-RoboBrakes-v0-3-1-Now-compatible-with-FAR-RealChute but I don’t know how that’s going.

You can probably copy the reversed thrust config from KAX props, and put it in a modulemanager config.

Nice idea!

i would like it with a destruction system like the one for solar panel: if the thrust inverter is deployed at a too hight dynamic pressure it will break and will not work anymore, and will also give a bad thrust multiplier for the normal thrust (x0.5?) (could depend of the technology of the design), add also a bit of drag when deployed (kind of airbrakes even if the engine is shut-off),

however a warning should be displayed in the right-clic menu (like for the parachutes).

Nice mod, I'll be following, but I'm currently looking more for something like a new part or added functionality to parts.

Erm... I would do it, if I knew where to start looking at...

Yup, I totally agree with your ideas. Let's hope a modder will see us waving here and come to help us.

Stock game doesn't really need it seeing is how it's already too easy. But with FAR speeds are much, much higher.

The thrust reverse from Firespitter (what KAX uses) relies on there being a second, reversed, thrust transform.
