ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser is provided for a gas turbine engine and exhaust nozzle supported by an aircraft wing, the exhaust nozzle having an outlet for discharging exhaust gases over an outer surface of the wing. The thrust reverser in accordance with a preferred embodiment includes a deflector having forward and aft ends, and first and second sides joined together by a base. The deflector is positionable in a stowed position around the exhaust nozzle so that the aft end is disposed forward of the nozzle outlet for allowing substantially unobstructed discharge of the exhaust gases from the nozzle outlet, and in a deployed position for changing direction of the exhaust gases for thrust reversal. A torque bar is fixedly joined to the first and second deflector sides and has a longitudinal centerline axis. The torque bar is rotatably joined to the wing, and the deflector is rotated about the torque bar centerline axis for being positioned in the deployed and stowed positions.
