goutvols103 Thank you! They are called Thrust attenuators. When the engine is at idle the attenuators are deployed to maintain taxi speed and they help the aircraft slow down, They do not produce any forward thrust they only reduce the amount of reward thrust at idle. Apparently the engines output a decent anount of power while at idle.
@@cpocketts Yes, and also helps to shorten the landing run. The CJ2+ does not have the thrust attenuators as it is equipped with FADEC, which allows the engines to have much lower thrust at idle.
Never liked those ugly black thrust attenuators on these, but Cessna came with a solution for this - much better Williams engines and the CJ2+ airframe.
Best job of my life. Thanks P.N.
The engine start was awesome! So was the rest of the video!
Great video! Superb footage and sound as always!
matthiashaenni Thank you very much!
Awesome catch, the start-up sound was a great addition!
Manchester Aviation Thank you!
That's some great footage, really nice sound from the start-up and takeoff!
Thank you! The CJ2 always produces great sound
Awesome footage man! The startup was really cool!
Thank you very much!
Excelente
Awesome catch mate
Lhr Champ Thank you!
Nice display at the start! Wonder what meaning that reg has.
Beautiful day for flying, nice work, i am so-so on the livery and color scheme, nothing you can do about that though
0:03 startup
Nice video. Curious,what those black deflectors are used for at the engine exhaust.
