ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine comprises a duct for the passage of a thrust producing gas, the duct having an upstream portion and a downstream portion spaced apart in a direction parallel to the axis of the duct, the downstream portion being movable relatively to the upstream portion between a closer spaced position and a further spaced position. A plurality of thrust reversal doors are pivotally connected to an upstream end of the downstream portion and extend therefrom towards the upstream portion, and a linkage assembly has a one end fixed relatively to the upstream portion and acts on each thrust reversal door. The linkage assembly during movement of the downstream portion to the closer spaced position causes the thrust reversal doors to pivot to open the space between the upstream and downstream portions and to close the duct for the reversal of thrust and during movement of the downstream portion to the further spaced position, causes return pivoting of the thrust reversal doors to close or substantially close the space between the upstream and downstream portions and to leave the duct unobstructed by the doors.
