    They don't block the ports, they are slightly behind. They redirect the thrust forward. All modern jets (Including Airliners) have them.

    Whirry noise would jet be the motors for them. The are probably just a tad chunky bits of metal moving.

    They always do it at that point to slow down for the bend, and to probably make spectators jump a bit aswell.

    Thrust reversers

    Listen out next time you go on holiday - the engines go to full power after touchdown, causing some SERIOUS deceleration.

    You'd be amazed how little runway a 747 needs
