Footage from YouTuber Topfelya has shown several Airbus A380 airliners performing reverse thrust at London Heathrow airport.

The video shows us the giants touch down on a wet runway, with the engine nacelles then moving.

The movement of the nacelles indicated the engagement of reverse thrust.

Three of the massive aircraft are in the video, and they are from British Airways, Emirates, and Singapore Airlines.
