ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser for aircraft fan jet engines using a plurality of sets of deflector and blocker doors filling openings through the engine nacelle during normal engine operation. During thrust reversal, the doors substantially block air normal fan air flow through the duct between engine cowling and the outer nacelle and deflect it out through the nacelle openings in a reverse direction. An actuator and hinge assembly moves each blocker door from a stowed position flush with the inner nacelle surface to a deployed position blocking air flow between nacelle and cowl. Simultaneously, an actuator and hinge assembly moves each deflector door from a stowed position flush with the outer nacelle surface to a deployed position receiving air from the blocker doors and deflecting that air flow in an outwardly and forwardly direction. The actuator and hinge assemblies are substantially out of the path of air flow in both the stowed and deployed positions.
