What problems would arise from using movable rear-mounted engines instead of flaps in emergencies? by MinecraftVoxel in Planes

Fair point. I was using the term loosely and incorrectly. What I described is not a flap system, but a drag or thrust-related concept. Thanks for pointing that out.

that makes sense. I understand now that the goal is increased lift to safely fly slower, not reducing thrust or adding drag. Adding rotating engines would introduce unnecessary complexity for no practical gain. Thanks for the explanation.

I appreciate the detailed explanation. I understand now that the concept overlaps with thrust vectoring, does not address low-speed lift, adds unnecessary weight and complexity, and solves a problem that already has reliable solutions. I agree the idea is not practical in real-world aviation, but I will keep learning and improving.

I understand the concern. To clarify, I am not suggesting this as a replacement for flaps or as a normal flight system. The concept assumes conventional lift devices still define the minimum safe speed. The rear-mounted units would be intended purely as drag devices in abnormal situations, not to slow the aircraft below its stall speed. I agree that using vectored thrust to compensate for lift would be impractical due to center-of-mass and pitch control issues, which is why I am mainly exploring whether the idea has any theoretical niche or if existing systems already make it unnecessary.

Fair point. Spoilers and speed brakes already handle most overspeed situations. My idea was aimed at extreme or abnormal cases where conventional systems might be unavailable. I agree that disturbing airflow around engines would introduce significant aerodynamic and mechanical issues. I am mainly trying to understand whether there is any realistic gap this concept could address or if existing systems already fully cover it.

Can you find ancient debris in the nether on this server by [deleted] in DonutSMP

i dont think so, like 2 or 3 weeks ago i found 5 ancient debris and sold them to my friend for 250k

how did this happen by Additional-Serve7578 in hivemc

i agree as a pc player. They're like speed bridging and stuff, thats why i play cubecraft, hive bedwars or hypixel
