Abstract
An aircraft structure includes a duct having an inlet for fluid flow into the duct and a first outlet for fluid flow out of the duct. The duct is configured to guide fluid flow out of the duct through the first outlet in an at least partially reversed direction relative to fluid flow into the duct to thereby reverse thrust.
