Stopping power of "reverse engines"

Can someone enlighten me, of the total stopping power of say a B747-400, how much is due to the brakes vs "reverse thrust"?

thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

The attached table provides the relevant data for the B747-400, and appeared in the ATSB report into the QF1 Bangkok incident in 1999.

Cheers, Will
