ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a thrust reverser comprising two symmetrical doors, approximately hemi-truncated in shape, pivotally mounted about an axis which is transverse and substantially diametrical to the jet of a jet engine and which is disposed downstream of the jet exhaust pipe thereof, the doors occupying a folded, or stowed, position in which they determine a sleeve forming part of the fairing of the engine and fuselage of the aircraft, or an unfolded, or opened out, position in which they are disposed transversely with respect to the jet, wherein the structure of each of the doors is such that, in stowed position, the inner volume of the sleeve forms a useful extension of the jet pipe of the engine. The invention finds particular application in the braking of aircraft.
