The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III using engine thrust reverse to pushback

At the airport, there was no suitable towbar to tow the aircraft with a tug. But unlike many others, this plane can taxi backward without using a tug.

For information, a towbar (or towing bar) is a special device used to connect a tug to an aircraft during ground towing. It is a rigid coupling attached to the aircraft’s nose landing gear.
