The Boeing 737-200 uses a unique thrust reverser system compared to later 737 models. It is equipped with JT8D low-bypass turbofan engines, which use a clamshell door (or "bucket" type) thrust reverser system. How It Works: Normal Operation: During forward thrust, the engine exhaust flows normally through the nozzle. Reverse Thrust Activation: When the pilot selects reverse thrust, hydraulic actuators move the clamshell doors to redirect the exhaust gases forward. These doors close off the norma

Similar to other thrust reversal types, it temporarily redirects the engine exhaust forward to slow down the aircraft.
