Abstract
A thrust reverser for a gas turbine engine may comprise a frame, a first reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame at a first pivot point, a second reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame at a second pivot point, a first nacelle defining a first trailing edge of the gas turbine engine coupled between the frame and the first reverser door, and a second nacelle defining a second trailing edge of the gas turbine engine coupled between the frame and the second reverser door. The first nacelle and the second nacelle translate in an aft and radial outward direction relative to the gas turbine engine in response to the thrust reverser moving to a deployed position.
