@jon @sophie you can put the propellor into reverse (it spins in the same direction, but the blades twist so it pushes air the other way)
doing this any time except when moving forwards on the ground typically has Negative Consequences
@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
