ABSTRACT:
A thrust reverser is disclosed for a turbojet engine having a central axis and an exhaust nozzle wherein the thrust reverser has a plurality of deflectors pivotally attached to the turbojet engine so as to pivot about axes extending generally traverse to the central axis between a forward thrust position, wherein the plurality of deflectors form a downstream end of the exhaust nozzle, and a reverse thrust position wherein the deflectors deflect gases emanating from the engine to generate a reverse thrust. Each of the movable deflectors has a downstream trailing edge located such that all of the trailing edges of the deflectors lie in a common plane extending substantially transverse to the central axis.
