The Dornier is a turboprop. They don't have thrust reversers per se. Those are found on jet aircraft. For prop planes, reverse thrust is generated by changing the pitch of the prop. Also, what does it mean to "block" a thrust reverser? Is that a translation issue? IAmNitpicking (talk) 03:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm aware of that technicality, but all the sources use say "thrust reversers" or "thrust reverse mechanism". As for the word "blocked", the word "jammed" might work better, but none of the sources seem to give any technical details. Derpytoucan (talk) 01:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
