Powerback
Powerback is used by aircraft to move backwards on the ground using the power of their engines in reverse thrust operation. Civil and general aviation aircraft equipped with reverse thrust are technically or theoretically able to use powerbacks as a means of "backing up" but such operation is prohibited or strongly discouraged by aircraft manufacturers as well as airport safety regulations in nations with actual aviation safety regulating agencies.
