Not may aircraft are capable of doing it, DC-9s can though...If there were no available tugs, could for example a 777 use it's reverse thrust and nosewheel steering to reverse out of the airport bay it is in? Or would the thrust endanger the airport or people there?
Yes.in certain circumstances but not usually on stand.If there were no available tugs, could for example a 777 use it's reverse thrust and nosewheel steering to reverse out of the airport bay it is in? Or would the thrust endanger the airport or people there?

Any aircraft with thrust reversers are capable of doing it. It's generally not a sensible option though, and usually not permitted either by the airport authorities or airline SOP's.Not may aircraft are capable of doing it, DC-9s can though...
Yes and yes.If there were no available tugs, could for example a 777 use it's reverse thrust and nosewheel steering to reverse out of the airport bay it is in? Or would the thrust endanger the airport or people there?
Not true, most don't push enough air forwards to move the weight of the aircraft.Any aircraft with thrust reversers are capable of doing it. It's generally not a sensible option though, and usually not permitted either by the airport authorities or airline SOP's.
He could always open a window and stick his head out to check.I know it's a bizarre question but it just seemed an interesting one. I don't actually imagine it would be feasible. The pilot doesn't have a rear-view mirror!
Or wing mirrors, come to think of it!
Absolute shit.Not true, most don't push enough air forwards to move the weight of the aircraft.
not being funny matey but`ll take the word of the pilotNot true, most don't push enough air forwards to move the weight of the aircraft.
Loads of the small props do it.
