ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine comprises a casing defining a duct for a thrust producing gas, the casing is divided into an upstream and a downstream portion movable between a normal position form a continuous duct and a thrust reversal position in which the two portions are separated by a gap. A plurality of thrust reversal doors are pivotally connected at or towards one end thereof to the downstream portion and a number of struts and pivotally connected at or towards one end thereof to the upstream portion, the thrust reversal doors and the struts in the normal position and as the upstream and downstream portions move towards the thrust reversal position, extending downstream to leave the duct unobstructed thereby. Each strut so engages a part of one of the thrust reversal doors as the upstream and downstream portions approach the thrust reversal position as to prevent relative movement between said strut and said part to cause all the doors and the struts to pivot together from said retracted position to an extended position reached at the thrust reversal position of the upstream and downstream portions in which the thrust reversal doors close the duct downstream of the gap to cause gas passing through the duct to pass through the gap thereby reversing the thrust of the gas.
