How quick can reverse thrusting move an airplane backwards? Haha?

Or maybe they never tried it? Haha


Answers:    not while flying.
but remember that roar after you park?
that's the thrust reversers, slowing the plane down.
and they can, in reality, make a plane be in motion backward.
surrounded by fact, i've in reality seen one do that, to wager on up from the jetway, when there be no pusher cart available.

heaps years ago, in the era of propeller planes, i remember a string of 4 planes taxing surrounded by line down a runway, and another coming at them come first on. "This'll be good" i thought. well, they adjectives stopped, and the lone one backed up, turning 90 degree, and sort of "parked", to let the other ones go by.

now none of them go fast, nor be they flying.
but they can, and do, move a plane backwards.
not sure how fast, but i can transmit you it can be dangerous to use reverse thrusters to reverse out of a parking spot or something...Air Florida Flight 90 crashed somewhat due to using the reverse thrust to try and back-up in snow/icy conditions
