ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser includes forward and aft louvers pivotally mounted in a compartment defining a flow tunnel through the outer and inner skins of a fan nacelle. An aft flap is integrally joined to the aft louver for rotation therewith. A unison link joins together the forward and aft louvers. And, an actuator is joined to the louvers for rotation thereof between a stowed position in which the louvers and flap are closed in the nacelle skins and a deployed position in which the louvers and flap are pivoted open from the skins.
