What are aircraft thrust reversers?

Aircraft thrust reversers are devices that redirect the thrust of an aircraft engine in the opposite direction to normal, providing deceleration. They are used primarily to slow down aircraft after landing, but can also be used in other situations, such as rejected take-offs or to help slow an aircraft in flight.

Thrust reversers are typically deployed after the aircraft has touched down on the runway and is decelerating. The pilot can deploy the thrust reversers manually or automatically. Once the thrust reversers are deployed, they can be used to provide a significant amount of deceleration, helping to reduce the landing distance of the aircraft.

Market Dynamics

The aircraft thrust reverser market is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:

• Increasing production rates of key aircraft programs, such as B737, B787, A320, and A350XWB.
• Increasing demand for lightweight thrust reversers.
• Increased demand for fuel-efficient aircraft.
• Advancement in technology of thrust reversers.

Segments Analysis

By Aircraft Type

The aircraft thrust reverser market is segmented based on aircraft type as Narrow-Body Aircraft, Wide-Body Aircraft, Very Large Aircraft, Regional Aircraft, and Business Jets. The narrow-body aircraft dominated the market with a share of more than 45% in 2018 and are expected to remain the growth engines of the market during the forecast period of 2019 to 2024. Increasing narrow- and wide-body aircraft deliveries to support rising passenger traffic, the introduction of fuel-efficient next-generation aircraft, and rising commercial aircraft fleet size across regions are the key factors that are propelling the demand for thrust reversers in these segments.

By Product Type

The market is segmented as Cascade Type, Pivot Four Door Type, and Bucket Type. Cascade occupied a share of more than 75% in 2018 and is expected to remain the most dominant and fastest-growing product type in the market during the forecast period, owing to its extensive usage in commercial and regional aircraft programs.

By Material Type

The market is segmented into Composites and Metals. The composite segment accounted for a market share of more than 70% in 2018 and is expected to remain the material of choice in the market during the forecast period. There has been an incessant replacement of metal components with composite components, owing to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio at a relatively low weight. Metals, such as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel, are primarily used in small sub-components, such as hinges and fittings.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a share of more than 45% in 2018 and is expected to remain the largest aircraft thrust reverser market during the forecast period, whereas Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the highest growth during the same period. The higher growth of aircraft thrust reversers in Asia-Pacific is mainly attributable to the increasing commercial aircraft fleet to support rising passenger traffic; the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus for B737, A320, and A330 aircraft programs; and upcoming commercial and regional aircraft, such as C919 and MRJ.
