Monday Morning. Time to wake up the beauty.

@sophie that “do not reverse in flight” sign has amused me. “Do not reverse in flight. You will fall out of the sky.”

(I guess it’s actually for some specific component rather than suggesting you might slam the whole plane in reverse without thinking)

@jackeric @sophie huh, I never knew it worked by twisting the blades, which certainly seems less hassle than needing to reverse the entire engine’s rotation.

@jon @sophie I think some of the airships might've used a gearbox to reverse the propellor rotation when required
