← TechnologyDuring an aircraft landing with activated thrust reversers, which mechanism extends engine life?
A)Turbine blade temperature reduction✓
B)Improved nacelle aerodynamic efficiency
C)Enhanced landing gear shock absorption
D)Reduced airframe buffeting intensity
💡 Explanation
Turbine blade temperature reduction extends engine life during landings because reverse thrust introduces cooler external air into the engine using the cold stream thrust reverser, therefore alleviating thermal stress, rather than improving nacelle aerodynamics, shock absorption or airframe buffeting.
