I fly a lot between London and Madrid and I am very accustomed to hearing this sound on (I believe, all) the various models of aircraft that fly that route. I know the original A380 design didn't have thrust reversers and they were included as an afterthought. Of course, that plane flies much longer routes and therefore does less taking off and landing. | |

reverser is a noun, not thruster
