reverse pitch
- Definição1
- Special ground-only setting available on some propellers and ducted propulsors, including several variable-pitch turbofans, in which blades accelerate air forwards, creating retrothrust proportional to engine power without change in direction of rotation.

- Contexto
- Reverse pitch or reverse thrust are not used when establishing the landing distance using this method and field length factor. Ground fine pitch is used if the effective drag/weight ratio in the airborne part of the landing distance is not less satisfactory than that of conventional piston-engined aeroplane. Note: This does not mean that reverse pitch or reverse thrust, or use of ground fine pitch, are to be discouraged.
