Description Essentially each of the 'valves' on the side of the dual thrusters takes some of the immense force (each about 33%) and turns it into reverse thrust. In addition to the valves turning the thrust back. There is also pneumatics pushing the dual thrusters apart giving it an increased reverse angle. The design concept is meant to solve the problem of stress that a single 'valve' would take from heavy thrusters without breaking or overheating. Inspiration from scifispaceships ([link] ) and the vector pump jet systems on boats ([link] (cut_view)_NT.PNG)

Not to mention that it's really dramatic, which is always nice in a fictional design
