Well, it doesn't FLY in reverse because if it did, the pilots wouldn't be able to see where they were going.

Planes fly because of the amount and angle of the air flow past the wings. ( over) so to fly backwards, first there would have to be engines that would send air past the wings and the angle of the wings would need to be movable to a large angle | | | | Uber Member | |

| | | I wonder if the OP's question is actually about taxiing in reverse. It would be nice if the plane could back out of its parking spot at the jet way without need a tug to push it. You'd still need spotters on the ground, and maybe a backup camera. Passenger jets have reverse thrust capability, do they not? | | | | Uber Member | |
