ABSTRACT:
A fan thrust reverser includes an outer louver door joined to an inner blocker door by a drive link in a bifold configuration. The louver door is stowed closed in the outer skin of a fan nacelle outside the blocker door stowed closed in the inner skin of the nacelle. An actuator deploys open the louver and blocker doors, with the louver door extending radially outwardly and the blocker door extending radially inwardly for reversing fan exhaust flow during thrust reverse operation.
