Abstract
A thrust reverser assembly for high-bypass turbofan engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes a translating cowl mounted to a nacelle of an engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes blocker doors axially guided adjacent first ends thereof by a fixed structure and pivotally and slidably connected along lengths thereof to an inner wall of the translating cowl so that translation of the translating cowl in the aft direction causes the blocker door to move from a stowed position to a deployed position. The thrust reverser assembly includes a stop disposed on the core engine or on the blocker door, receiving the load from the high pressure airflow, otherwise borne by an actuation system when deploying the translating cowl and blocker door.
