ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbojet engine having a cowling forming an outer boundary for a gas flow duct, the cowling having at least one reverse thrust opening communicating with the gas flow duct. The thrust reverser includes a thrust reverser door pivotally attached to the cowling so as to move between a forward thrust position, in which the reverse thrust opening is uncovered and the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverser door directs at least a portion of the gas flow from the duct through the reverse thrust opening. A panel is incorporated into the thrust reverser such that it is movable between a first position in which an inner surface of the panel forms a portion of the outer boundary of the gas flow duct and a second position wherein the entire panel is located within the gas flow duct. An actuating mechanism is connected to the panel to move it between its first and second positions such that the panel undergoes generally translational movement.
